In answer to Wim's dictionary- This from Webster's collegiate Dictionary, which may reflect the science background I was pulling from: Accuracy: freedom from mistake or error:CORRECTNESS Precision:the degree of refinement with which an operation is performed or a measurement stated. Or, relating to ETD's, we can now with the utmost precision (down to .01 cent) place a note in the wrong place. (lack of accuracy) How many times have you worked on a 'challenging' piano, where if you follow the ETD's calculation, there will be some octaves with obvious beats? On the flip side, it's possible to use a tool with a lack of precision (our ears) by using our ability to compare intervals, come up with a more accurate tuning. (fits the piano better) cool, huh?
