Sounds too me like the slightly out of tuned unison theory. In any case
Tuning unisons, like tuning octaves and temperament have no single one
descriptive that fits. What <<we>> are after varies from person to person
quite a bit... even within the range of very high quality fine tunings. As
far as the speed issue is concerned... in the end both ears and eyes can
process the relevant information quite a hundred times faster then the
arms and hands can carry out the resultant orders.

This ETD / Ear thing always seems to bring out the emotional side of our
reasoning on either side of the fence.  Its easy to loose track of the
probably fact that ETD's are hear to stay... and will continue to get
better and better until at some point ear tuning will just become
downright superfluous. We may loose some of the human creative aspects of
our musical experiences... but the writing seems quite apparent and in
large text on the proverbial wall.

Cheers
