As good a tuning as you could have done without the pitch 
raise, as well as you yourself can determine at the time of 
the tuning. I've explained stability concerns, but these exist 
in regular tuning scenarios too.

If that doesn't get it for you as a baseline, I'm not 
interested in playing the diversionary game with you any 
longer. Go forth and ponder the infinite quality of the 
perfect tuning at peace. You have my blessing.
