[CAUT] teaching piano tuning

[Kent Swafford]

OK, so let's _get_ real. Finish the sentence. ""In a study of four 
different voicing techniques carried out on pianos otherwise identical, 
it was found that  33% of college university professors thought all the 
techniques produced 'dreadful' results, 33% though all the techniques 
produced 'magnificent' results, and 33% would offer no opinion until 
they had heard all the opinions of all the other professors."

The point is that I don't think all college level activity is expected 
to follow the scientific method.
