I am not going to battle through all the garbage on Slate so I can see their meanderings. I will have to disagree with Slate in invincible ignorance. Of course we are only talking about voice, trombone and fretless strings because everyone else is sort of stuck with the notes mandated by the valves and keys etc. And as I said above, singers and musicians only approximate any given system of intonation due to the fact that the interval of the true fifth does not map exactly to the octaves except in the very artificial equal temperament and because they shape the phrase according to its melodic and harmonic tendencies.
