This article it is for pratical reason rather than only theoretical things.
Most of these scales has wolf intervals, for example:
1/1 9/8 5/4 4/3 3/2 5/3 15/8
1/1 9/8 6/5 4/3 3/2 8/5 9/5
9/8 to 5/3 is wolf fifth, and 5/3 to 9/4 is wolf fourth, how to avoid it? well, you might say to tempered out 81/80 to make fifths narrow a bit, In my opinion, yes, but there are another solutions here:
1/1 9/8 5/4 4/3 3/2 15/8
1/1 5/4 4/3 3/2 5/3 15/8
1/1 9/8 6/5 3/2 8/5 9/5
These scales does not include any wolf interval, so when the scale has wolf intervals, the best way it is to remove it. In major, we will remove 9/8 or 5/3 as the solution, and in minor, we only remove 4/3 as the solution.
