Exactly! You are one of the people that can hear small differences, and the original assumption that a Snark is good enough for tuning is not valid, so the conclusion is not necessarily valid. The logic is good, and it leads to the conclusion that good enough varies from person to person, depending on their ability to distinguish small differences in pitch.

I can't hear differences that small, so plenty good for me is not nearly good enough for you. Of course, I'd like my guitar to be perfectly in tune, but it's got to be out pretty badly for me to notice it.
