Either 12TET is a detour to an entropic >dead end, or it is a realized ideal. One person's Stairway to Heaven is >another's Highway to Hell. I suspect that the majority of us listers don't really hate 12TET as much as that we're excited by myriads of other possibilities. By the way, Ivor Darreg cited the same analogy to find the mood of 12TET, of the fish having to get out of the water before it can tell that water even exists. He used that analogy though, with respect to all other tunings: you can't fully appreciate any one without looking at them in light of the others.
