What you say is true Phil, but what we are talking about with this thread is that some folks raise pitch by a semitone, but only raise it 50 cents. Some go 100 cents on a semitone. Some raise it 50%. Some service pianos that have 13 steps in an octave, and some see pianos that only have 12 steps. Different strokes for different folks - sure, but there is something to be said for uniformity......
