Some people feel that there is a certain amount of ideological and propagandistic baggage associated to just intonation, and indeed some people do become infuriated when it is pointed out that the line between JI and non-JI is fuzzy or that [[Microtempering|microtempering]] sounds like JI. There is more than pig-headedness or quasi-religious sentiment involved in such responses, however, as the low prime limit rational numbers have a structure to them which can be grasped and employed by the composer. JI proponents are often reacting against promoters of equal temperament, especially 12-et, who often seem to feel that concern about close approximation to just intervals gets in the way of music.
