In tuning systems what one really cares about is the ratio between pitches, not the frequency of a specific note. You could have A=440 and tune to just intonation and that would sound different from A=440 and 12 tone equal-temperament.

Oh of course! I've just heard the a440 debate more than the tuning debate.
