That's true, but they adjust their pitch subconciously to harmonize with
the other singers.
That brings to mind an interesting thought. With most electronic
keyboards being software-based, it seems it would be a simple matter for
the software to analyze what notes are being played, and adjust the notes
for perfect harmony in the same way those singers do. I wonder if that's
ever been done. Does anyone know?

No equal tempered scale will have any of those
ratios, exactly, except
for the octave. Just tunings will have some of those ratios, exactly,
buy only in certain keys, because it's impossible to have all fifths or
all thirds perfect, for example.
Well, it is impossible if you are using a fixed-pitch instrument.
With talented singers, it's almost impossible to have any fifth or
third not perfect.
