Perhaps you ran (are running) into a semantic conflict? I notice there are many [civil and educated] discussions on trumpet and horn forums (mailing lists, etc.) about how to deal with equal and just temperaments, which to use in auditions [!!], etc. Are they all mistaken? I didn’t get that far into trumpet playing — I switched to trombone as soon as I could, because it better suited my embouchure — but I got far enough to realize that I could do a *lot* of "tuning" with those limited valves and slides. Based on that experience, I feel sure that if I got [a lot?] better, I would be able to play in equal or just temperament, as desired.
