Of course I can't tell, though sometimes what is bothering me gives some 
hint.

Has anyone considered whether early exposure to the more primitive ETD 
tunings, either as a piano student in early youth, or as a beginning 
untrained tuner, may have changed what they consider "good" for 
placement of stretch between sections, for instance?

There were a lot of those tunings out there, and such qualities are 
learned, not innate.
