Besides, jazz musicians wouldn't know what to do with something
other than AET (Approx. E, Almost ET) or NET (Near ET)
The other guys can't hit the same note twice anyways . . .

So the NET outcome starts to have cohesion after a few bourbons.

The NET difference adds body to he music removing the sterile homoginization.

NET is close enough for jazz . . .

Just some musings, <g>
