I like to also think when Jasper said pearl was defective she means that pearl doesn't  follow the same mind set as the homeworld gems and that her own emotions are seen as flaws. Since most of the homeworld gems are cold and calculating and follow logic. She might have been a homeworld gem as seen with her space suit having a diamond. I assume that and the fact that Rose was able to convert the other gems. Also despite being intelligient is highly emotional and lets her emotions guide her. While Peridot and Jasper aren't guided by what seems to be emotions. While Peridot though reacts to things negatively against her logic and worried mainly due to logic and order. Jasper meanwhile is like Vegeta guided by the urge for a good fight and follows military like logic and didn't see that steven and the other gems at first were threats.
