     True,  The other tuning programs do take a few samples and create a generalized curve.. But, Verituner takes samples comtinuously for every note on the piano, and therefore does actually factor in inharmonisity jumps of the stringing scale, and all quirks it hears thought the piano.
 It does create an actual aural style tuning, always listening, unlike the other programs that extrapolate a general curve from a few samples.......what he is suggesting might work......
