Most typically, this sense of "support" is reserved for such cases where not only is '''B''' merely possible or ''valid'' with '''A''', but '''A''' is actually ''good'' for '''B'''. The technical RTT sense of "supports" defined above is strictly mathematical and makes no such stipulation of aesthetic goodness, however. According to it, the [[wart notation|2c]] [[map]] for [[2edo|2-ET]] supports [[meantone]] despite tuning the fifth to 600¢, well outside the [[diamond tuning ranges]] for meantone. Furthermore, since [[0edo|0-ET]] makes ''every'' comma vanish, it therefore supports ''every temperament'', though clearly it does not do so in any musically useful sense. Due to this key difference between the technical RTT definition and the informal general definition, occasionally usages may conflict and surprise some readers. | Most typically, this sense of "support" is reserved for such cases where not only is '''B''' merely possible or ''valid'' with '''A''', but '''A''' is actually ''good'' for '''B'''.
