Anybody care to"intervene",perhaps write a reply here that i can post?
Iit sounds par for course. It's basically what they use to teach in ear training at Juilliard. Madame Longy talked about 9 commas in a whole tone with the sharps leaning sharp going up and flats leaning flat going down. I think I remember reading a violin manual with a similar idea.

yes, this 'pseudo-pythagorean' teaching for string students has been
back in vogue since about 1800. in the 16th-18th centuries it was the
opposite, G# was lower than Ab, even mozart taught his violin
students that.
