When I said "but it is them against you in this case and it sounds like you are losing", I didn't intend to imply that it was time for a tuning fight with flutes. Unless the players personalities are such that the subject can be reasonably discussed there is little to be gained by a battle of I'm-right-you're-wrong. Good intonation is part science and part attitude and sometimes you just have to be willing to go along with someone else's intonation - as a career orchestral 2nd player, that is pretty much my role.
On most notes it is possible to bend one way or the other with embouchure, alternate fingerings, or hole shading. What players need more than anything is the ear to hear and the flexibility to tune in many situations. A tuning CD method would go a long way to help!
