I like that statement however their is a such a thing as perfect pitch in a more than arbitrary sense. It gives those with it the ability to see music not only hear it and see it in vivid colors. For those of us without it we dont know what its like to have it and therefore cannot miss it. It would be like someone born blind being able to see, sure it sounds good, but you cannot miss something you've never had. I guess thats not the best analogy after all. However if it helps get my point across than great.
