I would assume that Marc Wienert knows what he is doing.

      After reading the book, what strikes me is that Perri Knize is being
given seemingly unquestioned credibilty for constancy, ie, that she is a
validly consistant judge of what is in front of her.
    It is entirely possible that her perception changes daily and whether
the tuning is "it" or not depends as much on where she is coming from at 
that
particular time as it does on what is actually on the piano.  Marc's tuning
could easily be more constant than her perception of what she is hearing,
and the "success" depends more on her being in a particular emotional place
than his stretch being at a particular level at any given time.
    It makes for an interesting book, but doesn't necessarily have anything
to do with tuning.
