A recent blog post on thatsmaths.com was about Tonenetz, a diagram of harmonic relationships of notes. Tonenetz means 'tone network' in German :-)

> the defects of this tuning method became evident and the more flexible “well-tempered” tuning scheme was devised. This ensures that the ratio of pitch between every two adjacent notes is precisely the same.

The author seems to have confused well-temperament and equal temperament.

It is also odd that he calls just intonation a “simplification” of Pythagorean tuning.
