well said.

and never let being in tune with a tuner be a substitiute for being In  
Tune with others in the moment.
that is to say, you can be "right" and wrong at the same time.

our goal as players at times is to be skillful enough to do what we  
can to make those around us sound in tune and together.....

there must be a word for those who insist on being in tune technically  
while being out of tune with  those around them....

wonder what it is.

 I've been in way too many sessions where someone was out of tune  
with everyone else and says "But I'm right in tune with
my tuning machine"

It's pretty hard to practice playing in tune alone.
