Anyway, I just said all that to reiterate the fact that there is no such thing as perfect pitch.  Relative pitch, yes.  Pitch memory, yes.  But perfect pitch, no.

 How close does it have to be to be called "perfect"?   I ask because I once encountered a student oboe player that could hear the pitch of A as flat when it was, (according to my SAT), 1.5 cents flat.  This is close enough to "perfect" for me...
