Keith,

Yeah. It's interesting that the pure minor and major thirds are
within the interval of their equal-tempered equivalents, the
tempered minor third being even flatter with respect to the pure
minor third than the tempered major third is sharp to the pure:
15.7 cents from tempered to pure minor third, 70.7 cents from pure
minor to major third, 13.7 cents from pure to tempered major third
(using 6/5 for the pure minor third and 5/4 for the major).
