"...can state categorically that you will never learn to tune aurally with the aid of a machine." All depends on motivation and self discipline. You are correct that it is VERY easy to fall into the situation you describe. But there are a number of techs that have used the AccuTuner or similar machine to teach themselves aural tuning. If you don't have another tech nearby to help you, a good machine can be worth its weight in gold for learning aural tuning. BUT, yes, it will take a lot of motivation and discipline to avoid going out completely machine dependent.
