Bill,

My apologies. I stand corrected. I see your point about how a
less-than-spot-on ET could easily be a RW if the tuner is not conscious
of how he is deviating from ET. I never think of ET in a historical
perspective, any more than a fish thinks of water. If ET is unachievable
(always), then a mild victorian temperament is the logical backup.
