Well fer sure, I don't think I ever wrote that I tuned at that resolution.  It just makes sense to set the targetup at a specific location based on the math - there's gonna be some +/- going on in the real world...
As to the idea that minor temperaments aren't heard/noticed?  Perhaps not by many, but really by some.
I like to relate to classes that most piano owners/performers are more than happy when the unisons and octaves are nice.
Some notice temperament differences, especially if they've been "trained" by previous techs to test for ET.Most just don't care...Some prefer ET.Many prefer some sort of Well Temperament, given the chance to play music...  My hope was to offera painless introduction.  For me, there is hardly any difference between the 1.15 and the 1.3, but a cleardifferences moving to the 1.7 and 2.1.  Again, it surprised me - perhaps why I hadn't experimented withtuning such "weak" temperaments until recently.
