Say you are a piano tuner in New York City, called out to tune the 
Steinway of the ultra-guru of electronic music, Wendy Carlos, and say the 
piano is outfitted with the Gulbransen under-the-keys MIDI rail, and say 
that, unknown to you, all the keystrokes that you play while tuning the 
piano are recorded.  And say the resulting .MID file is posted to the 
internet for everyone to hear.  Perhaps students of piano tuning would 
like to hear how a working piano tuner lays the bearings, and what checks 
he really uses during a real tuning.
