I wonder if this article say what having "perfect pitch" is?  People often ask
me if I have it and even though I think I have a sense of pitch which most
people call "perfect pitch", I always tell them that there is no such thing,
that it is just a popular notion.  (I do however recall one of the Baloney
Bunch claiming to have it).

I think the concept of "perfect pitch" must have been thought of by the same
people that decided that all music forever more must be performed in ET.
