I believe that Owen's original use of the term "equal beating" was a label to distinguish it from the recipe for the same temperament which was labeled "theoretically correct". I'm more than a few feet away from my copy of "Tuning Historical Temperaments by Ear", but I think you will find that the EB temperaments are merely an expedient to help tuners closely approximate the "theoretically correct" through the use of equal beating series of check intervals.
