-I'm not sure how similar or not [[srutal]] temperament and its [[Diaschismic family|siblings]] are to the [[Indian]] shruti system. If they are very similar, then they can go up to 2 stars, but they still fail.
-These names imply the tunings are identical to traditional Indian shruti. Which they are not. They are inspired by shruti, they are not the same as shruti.
-These temperaments should be named stuff like "shrutilike", "shrutiproximate", "nearshruti", etc. If they were, they'd get a passing grade. As they are, they're about as bad as names can get.
