Should Pianos Sound Squillante?

Indeed... OK. But do you think the Examiners on the Tuning Test to be 
"gullible"? Are they easily "taken in", deceived, duped or credulous? The 
word "gullible" is taken from "gull" - a "dupe" or "simple" person - like 
Simon actually. Who's Simon? I hear you cry. The bumpkin who met a pieman. 
That is all extracted from the "Universal English Dictionary" with all of 
1752pp. In Romanian it is: "naiv", "credul", "lesnecrezator". Just thought 
you'd like to know.....
