I replied using a comparison of 12-TET, to scales with unequal steps. The post I replied to, used only the perspective of modern keyboards when talking about transposing music.

You wrote "Modern tuning with 12-TET is not perfect, but good enough, and doesn't yield very dramatic differences when transposed" and I was trying to figure out what differences you were referring to as still being there in 12-TET. As in, why write "very dramatic" instead of "any"?
