I believe that there is a wide variation in the precision of "perfect 
pitch", and it varies from individual to individual. A local tuner did a 
survey of his customers with this affliction, and found that it varied in 
accuracy and also was dependent on instrument producing the note in some 
cases. I have a customer with perfect pitch who wants half the top octave 
tuned 8 cents sharp, but only those notes. Hey, its not my piano!
