If the piano is reasonably close, the moving, flexing thing is minimal. And if it's a pitch raise, one pulls it a bit wide quickly, then goes back over it. The ETD sets it arbitrarily higher by a formula, and with luck it ends up pretty close the first pass, and can be refined the second. And overpulling aurally, with luck and a bit of skill one ends up pretty close the first pass, and refines during the second. But, what makes you think that tuning with an ETD keeps things from moving, flexing, etc.? It's a matter of hammer technique and the physical condition of the piano.
