LOL.  I know this kind of ignorance and bigotry, the two seem to go hand in 
hand, are out there.  I pretty much expect it for that matter.  What I have 
found to be nearly 100% consistent is that anyone who says or does these 
kinds of things ALWAYS produces a piano tuned in Reverse Well.  Not only is 
it not equal, every single chord played sounds completely *ass backwards* (a 
term my venerable dad often used).

As Johnny Carson used to say, "Believe it or STUFF it".
