Sound or score?

I've been pondering my outburst of impatience, and have concluded it stems from a fundamental philosophical difference, but not the JI versus et difference which people tend to see it as. The difference I see is between those who react to music as sound, and those who react to it as score. (As performance is another quesion.)

To someone who sees music as sound, how many accidentals a score employs is not a consideration; praising a piece for using many or for using few is equally absurd. To someone who regards music as sound, the difference between JI and temperament vanishes if it becomes inaudible; to someone whose appreciation centers on the score, this misses the whole point; the knowledge that the score is JI can produce one kind of shiver, and the suggestion that it could just as easily not be another and less plesant kind.

I fail to understand the score point of view, but if someone manages to extract meaning from it then I say go for it. I hope, however, that they will understand that my comments are either from the sound point of view or simply fallout from looking at things mathematically.
