If it by ear or by ETD it all comes down to the final result. This is true for the customer as well as the tuner. In the industry if you are a terrible tuner you will not retain you customers and your tunings will not hold. I guess if I really wanted to stir up trouble I would suggest that the tuning exam be administered by the judges who did not know if the person was using and ETD or their ears or both and let the final result stand as a passing or failing tuning.
