An interesting question, Clyde.  However, as tuning is
an art and we are human beings, we are probably all
striving for perfection (and likely never quite
attaining it) and we are never quite satisfied, always
thinking it could be better - and we must never lose
that!  Remember, the perfect piano has not yet been
made and no two pianos are exactly alike - so life
remains interesting.
