You won't hear John Williams, Anna Vidovic, Muriel Anderson, David Qualey, or Liona Boyd with bad intonation. They are great players with great guitars who understand tuning and intonation.

The problem with classical guitars, especially in the states, is that because the steel string is so popular most stores carry only cheap classical guitars where the intonation is often mediocre. A very skilled technician make a youtube video with some good classical guitar playing on a cheap guitar, but that doesn't me they understand nuances involved in tuning compensation. \

I've also found that intonation can vary quite a bit between different sets/brands/tensions of strings with the classical.
