When intonated well all of them are:

2^(12/12) == 2

but the perfect 5th and the major 3rd aren't:

2^(7/12) < 1.5
2^(4/12) > 1.25

The interval C-B# isn't an octave, but an augmented 7th, although this
is set equal to C-C' for practical reasons, but now I feel am starting
to repeat what I wrote in the premier thread.

You mean the house for overactive mailinglist contributors spending a
lot of time just making their point? That's where they're trying to
put me as well. It seems they force you to go outside there and
breathe fresh air..
