Are you saying that those who do purely electronic tunings lack intellectual curiosity?  Or that electronic tuning will produce no better than average tunings?  Having at times followed various tuners over the years, both aural and electronic, I find many more "average" and needing improvement aural tunings than I do electronic ones.  The comment that you will not work for better musicians if you do purely electronic tunings is a completely unfounded assertion.  

And in answer to Ron's comment "I still don't recall ever reading in any of these discussions that ETD users produced inferior tunings".  I rest my case.

If one lacks intellectual curiosity, has no particular interest in building their skills, and is satisfied with "average" work,  a purely electronic tuning is adequate to this task.  But you will not work for the better musicians, because they will see a blind spot in your work that you do not even know is there.     

In this work like so many others, the way you keep from stagnating is by challenging yourself regularly.
