As explained in that article in a complete way, this keeps the tuning progressing smoothly on up the scale. I showed several tables which revealed how changing the A4 stretch number in particular needs to be compensated for in resetting the pitch when you get up to note C5. Another additional reset could be made at note C6, but it is rather inconsequential, so I usually ignore it. I have included, as an attachment to this post, a file which explains the pertinent part of that article.
