Susan,

You bring up an interesting point.

Yes, Jim, Sr. was a "hybrid tuner" by the current definition.

But do you really know he implemented his aural skills mixed in
   with the SAT. I think not. Yet I allow it is not an impossibility,
   and will most likely never be known for certain.

I simply accepted he was true to the demonstration, strictly aural versus strictly SAT.
How much more honorable individuals can there be then him and Sir Virgil Smith?

Implication does not substantiate the truth of the matter.

Sincerely,

Keith
