SAT & RCT

Friends,

I have been thinking about getting the SAT lll, RCT or the TuneLab.
When one tunes aurally, we listen to every note on the piano, intervals
and so on.  What puzzels me is how a machine can measure only 3 or 6
notes and compute an optimum tuning for a piano.  It seems to me that
for any machine or computer to create a really good tuning, it would
have to sample many more notes than 3 or 6?  Wouldn't a machine that
sampled every note on the piano be a better tuning? Isn't this what
aural tuning does to a degree?
Thanks,
Jim Turner
