Just got back from a couple of days in the woods to find too many
posts to even consider considering looking at!

Sorry to see the Johnny Reinhard accurate to the cent parlor trick
thread tumble into an armed one side versus another type blowout. And
I know I said I'd shut up on this one already, but this is the only
thread I have the desire to excavate out of the 300 plus post deep
pile at the moment...

From where I stand, and this has been my gripe right along because as
I've already said in what I've heard the musical results are plenty
accurate enough, Johnny appears to want his cake and eat it too.
Arguing both sides of the argument as it were.

Whatever, would somebody who's equipped, competent, and driven to do
so -- preferably without an agenda -- run some measurements and just
see what there is to see alright already!

Johnny's accomplishments, reputation (et al) shouldn't be in doubt.
However, as he's also the one who keeps bring this rather provocative
'I play 1200-tet accurately to the cent' topic back every now and
again, I also see no reason to shout-down or belittle anyone who might
honestly question that or someone who might be interested in running
some measurements to see just what's what.

Then again, there always JdL's new list...
