He should really take a course over temperaments and tuning, plus the  
history of tuning over time, he'd be less cocky after that.

The C value tends to shift higher with time, that's why the baroque is  
settled by convention at 415 (and sometimes lower even for earlier  
music) instead of 440 (convention settled in 1939 from a débate  
running since the 19th century). Some aria written in the 17 and 18th  
centuries can't be sung if sang at 440.

Anyway, we can't hear higher than 15k after the twenties (and  
sometimes before)…
