Hi Paul.  A piano uniformly 3 or 4 cents flat will  better simulate  the 
average piano in the field.  That's not flat  enough to skew the accuracy of the 
test by reason of instability  - especially since we are moving only center  
strings.  The current method of one string flat, one sharp is very  annoying, 
because we NEVER see a piano like that out in the field.  If  the piano were 
detuned 8 cents, then a pitch raise would be needed, and 20 min  could be allowed 
for that.  It wouldn't need to to be scored, the  tuning test itself would 
score it.  I adjust pitch all day long, during  or prior to tuning, depending on 
the situation.  The tuning test should  simulate that IMHO.
