You didn't answer this Q but thanks for the "deaf tuning" bit. The answer to your comment: "I'm sure that nearly every tuner has had the experience of "accidentally" being on the wrong tuning pin." How true! How true! The time it is more likely to happen is in historic square pianos by Zumper or Pohlmann - late 18th. century (1786+-) when there's no definition relating the tuning pin to the bicords - all intelligent guesswork and painstaking following the string through the lengthy non-speaking part. For in these pianos the tuning pin can be in a cluster at the Right end and without tell-tale felt washers to guide. But I have done that on a Harpsichord in the Pit when some punter has been firing questions at me - then I have to quickly return-by-guess the affected pin and hope I get it nearly right else when I get to tune that note it's obvious I have erred - and that's no good. Story: To err is human. To forgive Devine. You have erred. I forgive you. Oh yes!... Did you say you did it chromatically? This pitch Rise? from A0 - C88? with ETD?
