If you had to choose between having absolutely perfect pitch but always getting annoyed when someone is out of tune at all, or always being out of tune but being able to enjoy music as you do now, what would you choose?
i'm not sure you are understanding quite how perfect pitch works. the name of perfect pitch is misleading. it makes more sense to call it 'absolute pitch.' and you don't need to have absolute pitch to know whether something is out of tune with itself. only to know whether it is overall tuned to A=440hz. and whether or not something is tuned to A=440hz does not affect whether or not it sounds 'in tune'. anyone claiming to be annoyed by something because it is not tuned to A=440 is lying, and using it as an excuse to brag that they have absolute pitch. in fact some people even claim things are not A=440 when they actually are, especially nowadays, with most music being made on computers where all the instruments are by default set to A=440
