I KNOW there are amazing, fast, solid, ear tuners out there, too. But 
I would want to witness the actual tuning while the person was doing 
it, and then check it over for accuracy before agreeing that I'd 
actually met one.

When the Rubic Cube craze was in full swing twenty years ago, I heard 
of cube competitions in which high school and college kids would 
complete thoroughly random cubes in under a minute. (It also 
supposedly involved vaseline smears on the internal sliding 
surfaces.) Speed is easier completing a Rubic Cube than in tuning a 
piano because the cube are none of a tuning's grey areas. But it also 
overlook is the fact that there is more than one way to complete a 
cube, and true genius lies in continuing to discover more ways to do 
this.
