Try tuning the beats out of a G13#11!

Actually I was just quoting the example Patrick Mullen had given in
one of his posts:

"I am a jazz player too, and there are many jazz chords that don't
work well in the just scale, 7-limit or not.
In fact, 12tET has spawned harmonic extensions that sound really cool
in 12tET, but not so good when tuned to just intervals. As if such a
thing could even be done with some chords. Try tuning the beats out of
a G13#11! But it sounds very nice in 12tET. So when I play jazz, I
play just intervals when I can, but don't worry about it much
otherwise."

Interesting enough, in the context of Patrick's comment, Joe seems to
have posted a truncated 4:5:6:7:9:11:13 (where tuning out the beats
might be the least of the problems!), or a 4:5:6:7 G7:

5/4

and a 7:9:11:13 Bbmaj7#5:
