I'm not a music theory expert, just a guy who has played guitar by ear for 28 years.
Equal temperament is definitely a compromise .. I find myself constantly trying to "sweeten" the tuning of my guitar strings relative to the song/key I am playing.
You can tune your guitar with the most accurate guitar tuner in the world (I have strobe tuners by Sonic Research and Peterson), and some things still just sound out of tune.
