Well if you truncate my words that way, you make it sound I am doing
a false accusation, and personal attack. I think this was not the case.
What I said in full was :

"If a tuning integrates one or more loops between several notes (is it
the case here ?), or even equal divisions of a comma, the fact that
it can be modelized through very high numbers seems to me as a very
relative indication of the "meaning" of the tuning.
The only thing we can presume is that Bach was not using such complex
ratios - but was he using numbers at all ?
He could have use some advanced loop techniques and yet without the
need to calculate any ratio.
On the other hand, if a temperament can be modeled correctly with
relatively low numbers it is an indication of possibly simple equal
or proportional beating, and therefore tuning-by-ear techniques.
The only thing we can say, apart from all other considerations, is
that Lehman does not demonstrates it."

Lehman (from what I understood) performs tuning-by-ear himself perfectly and without any calculations yes, but does not explains his tuning by the means of a JI-beating model.
I am a luthier and I would have been interested to know if he had one.
But no problem !
