 Re: Intonation -- What Constitues Being In Tune?

@Scandinavian, if I may, I have an analogy.

Modern saloon cars nowadays often have a rear-facing camera for reversing.

I don't need it.

I can easily park using only the wing-mirrors and by looking over my shoulder - let's call this the "proper way" of parking.

Nevertheless, having a rear-facing camera is extremely useful if I want to ensure that I'm slotting in perfectly with the other cars in the car-park.

I treat my tuner like a rear-facing camera. Most of the time I never look at it, certainly when I'm driving forward! However, when I want to confirm that I'm in the right place it is very useful.

J.

P.S., I don't want to take the analogy too far. The point is that a tuner gives you additional data that you deliberately choose to ignore, while I choose to use it judiciously (and not slavishly).
