These names imply the tunings are identical to traditional Indian shruti. Which they are not. They are inspired by shruti and close to shruti, but they are not the ''same'' as shruti.
The issue with these names, is that they are so similar to the word “shruti”, that they imply the tuning is ''identical'' to traditional Indian shruti. Which it is not. These tunings are inspired by shruti, and sound close to shruti, but 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.
