This page has some incorrect statements; the errors in harmonics above
18 can be both larger than 7 cents and can lead to inconsistencies with
JI. It is worth noting that 72-tET, besides being consistent through the
17-limit, has unique (max. error 4 cents) representations of all
11-limit intervals. (I mean odd limits here.)

72-tET is quasi*-11-limit-JI.

*or whatever term you use when the proported "consonances" are never off
by more than 4 cents.
