The slighted musicians, as you put it, have made plenty of experience-based comments on what the drawbacks are, and why the decision matrix is wrong. They accord with my own (admittedly amateur) experiences. I think it is disingenuous to dismiss their comments with a casual "whether or not you think that's accurate" - that's exactly what their comments are, they're disagreeing with the decision matrix and giving their reasons why.

See especially the comments made by professional tuners (which matches what my own piano tuner tells me).

Maybe bring up the specific drawbacks you agree with, because many of the drawbacks mentioned seem really slight. One was that the musician was annoyed when an orchestra played in a slightly different pitch than what they preferred or what they were used to. Seems more like an OCD thing than something that actually impeded their musicianship.
