David Andersen's whole-note tuning

I must admit this has always baffled me. Is it possible to do 
this any other way? The beats heard *are* natural, aren't 
they? How does one listen to a specific partial, excluding 
everything else? Is this a fundamental [sic] duh, or am I on 
the wrong planet - again. I still don't get it. Who's tuning 
by unnatural beats, and how can we stop them?

I've read his journal article, and attended one class, and 
it's still a well - yea - and(?) thing. Somewhat short of 
helpful. Either it's a natural job for Obvious Man, or I'm 
hopelessly deluded (a possibility not remotely out of the 
question).
