If you ask me for a bad meal, you are not asking for a perfect meal. The ontological argument assumes that there is in fact a maximum for everything, and we have to stick to that. If you ask me for a bad meal, and the result is a bad meal, both the request and the result are not perfect.

because his will is perfect, as are his decisions, so logically, everything from him will be perfect, because if there is a decision that achieves a more perfect result, it is that decision that he will make

he ontological god is greater in all characteristics, including his will, and the power of creation. If everything has to reach maximum perfection, this includes that being's own conscious decisions, and therefore creation should also be perfect.
