While this viewpoint is certainly 'correct...' I think as a "line of
reasoning" it both separates 144-tET from a/its notational context, and
fails to acknowledge or demarcate any sort of practical distinctions
between the +/- 4&1/6thc max error in 144-tET, and say a ~91% error @ +/-
~27c in 1-tET, or a ~91% error @ +/- ~.05c in 1200-tET.
