Here's the bottom line on this.

If your ear can't tell the difference between a guitar tuned with a strobe tuner and a tuning fork, (insert Snark, Intellitouch, or most other cheap tuners) you don't need a strobe tuner.

You simply can't tell the difference and because perception is reality to you, you will argue the point unendingly.

That has nothing to do with your skill, expertise, knowledge, etc.. But don't think that just because it's your reality that it's true. I play with friends who can tune their guitars and I will hand them my tuner and ask them to tune string x and it will always be off. I first noticed it when I could tune with my Intellitouch and could hear that it was off. That doesn't happen with the one I use now.

I'd trade the ear for a lot more skill at playing but since that won't be happening, don't argue that devices that are not as precise, and admittedly so by the manufacturers own admission, are not needed and are no different that the cheap ones.
