i recall an anecdote in an old music theory book
the title and author of which i cannot recall right now but the gist was that they were at an event where they were requested to accompany a singer on the piano with a well known tune and after the intro the singer started exactly a fifth out - to save embarrassment they shifted key at an opportune moment only for the singer to then jump a fifth out again and so on... turns out it's a neurological thing some folk have - it was in a chapter on perfect pitch i fink, will check the bookshelf later...

One can often mistake the bass harmonic for the fundamental, I think that one is responsible for a lot of those sort of fuckups.

sure - a common production trick to make things sound bass heavy on little speakers of producing such tones
my point was one of neurological divergence or naturally occurring mutant basilar membranes
psychoacoustics innit
