In support of Micha's quote from R. Chaim ozer......

When I learned the sugya of Giyyur with R. Parness one summer [circa 1973]
he concluded that a prospective ger who is mekabel "ol mitzovs" - despite
admitting that he might give in to temptation - is acceptable.  IOW he did
not have to plege absolute compliance, just sincere acceptance.

What more can one ask from any normal human?  can perfection ever be
considered a prerequesite?
