JI approximation: clarify that maybe there it's direct as well

subsectioning the approximation into theory, and as for the "worst" I've actually calculated this with a spreadsheet, maybe not up to 16/15 but I can say for 9/8, rewrite a bit

97edo has very poor direct approximation for [[superparticular]] intervals among edos up to 200. It has errors of well above one standard deviation (about 15.87%) in superparticular intervals with denominators up to 14. The first good approximation is the 16/15 semitone using the 9th note, with an error of 3%, meaning 97edo can be used as a rough version of [[16/15 equal-step tuning]].

Since 97edo is a prime edo, it lacks specific modulation circles, symmetrical chords or sub-edos that are present in composite edos. When edos like [[19edo|19]], [[29edo|29]], [[31edo|31]], [[41edo|41]], or [[53edo|53]] have mathematically justified harmony, 97edo is essentially "irredeemable" in terms of either modulation or approximation rationales. However, this might result in interest in this tuning through JI-agnostic approaches.
Since 97edo is a prime edo, it lacks specific modulation circles, symmetrical chords or sub-edos that are present in composite edos. When notable equal divisions like {{EDOs|19, 31, 41, or 53}} have strong JI-based harmony, 97edo does not have easily representable modulation because of its inability to represent superparticulars. However, this might result in interest in this tuning through JI-agnostic approaches.
