This is "old news" and is not currently at issue.

So, why do you have so much to say about my reports regarding this  
software, if you have no actual experience using it? 'PureTuner is  
more than just a simple implementation of 19 tone to the pure  
duodecime equal temperament.

The original point, despite your misreading of it, remains that new  
technology can seem indistinguishable from magic. If you disagree with  
that general truth, then please take it up with Arthur C. Clarke, who  
made the statement. It is annoying that you continue to argue against  
a point that was never made. Perhaps if you had actually used the  
software, you would understand a bit more about the contribution that  
it appears to bring to our field.

Thanks for your interest.

Kent
