Incidentally, I think a large part of the reason for this is 
tuners being so willing to accept "freebies". We all leave 
different "signature" torque and segment tension differences 
in our tunings. I discovered a long time ago that by moving 
and re-settling every single string, the resulting tuning is 
much more stable.
