Correction: 22 does articulate the syntonic comma (it's one degree of the tuning), so triadic diatonic scales are problematic in 22. In 17 the syntonic comma is not even well-defined, since 17 is not consistent within the 5-limit. Both 22 and 17 have perfectly fine "Pythagorean" diatonic scales, though.
