The world I live in isn't watching equal temperament fade into oblivion, or to use your phrase, "ET is on its way out." It is still the standard goal, that is, at least on roughly 2500 pianos that I have occasion to visit. It seems you are taking something to the nth degree, and if we were even to abide by your standards and your definitions, then your completed tunings don't even measure up to what you claim them to be, whatever that is. Mind you, I'm not asking you to explain again. You've done that very well in your last post. However, my basic understanding is that at some point items are discussed from a reference point as generally understood. Using that reference point as a guideline gives us the opportunity to talk over the variables. Speaking only for myself, of course, and not "...shouting you down..." Keith A.
