"But only 1200-tet can approximate all just intervals to within 1 cent."

Exactly. I have been saying that 1200-tet is ideal for most all purposes for some time now. :)

1200-tET can approximate *any* interval to within *half* a cent.

Depending on what you mean by "just intervals", there are more
accurate equal temperaments with fewer tones/octave.
