I don't like that kind of conclusion. For some reason (the context of the article?) it made me think of gold plated digital cables.
It's like the old fairy tale of the princess and the pea [1]. Sometimes when people are complaining about some tiny subtlety that we can't recognize ourselves we think they are a princess. Other times, someone tries to convince us they are a princess by pointing out a subtlety that isn't even there.
There is likely an objective truth about tuning pianos. I am suspicious when someone claims they have a super-power that cannot be replaced.
