Of course. Likewise, I am sure.

New technology is indistinguishable from magic, and I do believe that  
new technology comes along from time to time.


Your spreadsheet construction is very interesting, but it would not,  
after all of those calculations, match two pianos that differ wildly  
in inharmonicity. Or, if you say it would, I await the audio files.

No one said that 19 tone to the perfect twelfth equal temperament is  
new. (Although Stopper does claim to have been among the first to  
publish it many years ago.) Stopper's approach to realizing the tuning  
across a whole piano scale and indeed across a wide variety of  
differing piano scales in such a way as to produce a characteristic  
and pleasing synchronous effect, however, does appear to be new.
