===The rulers metaphor for microtonality===

Imagine a ruler with 12 inches on it. Now imagine one where, in the space of 12 inches, 13 equally spaced lines are drawn. Although these new lines are each only a little less than an inch apart from each other, they are clearly not "inches" and it would be silly to use them as such. If you used these 13ths of a foot to measure and estimate lengths frequently, you would ~~soonyourself~~ rounding to this new set of lengths which before you would have rounded to inches. You might soon find yourself rounding something exactly 6 inches long to either 6 or 7 of these. My, what a crazy you must be!

===The colors metaphor for microtonality===

Imagine you're a painter. All your life, you have been told that there are only ~~twelve~~ colors, that any shade between two of the colors is just an out-of-tune version of ~~one~~ of the ~~'real'~~ colors...
