This is the crux of it, what the actual intention is.

On this I meant if a piece is full of microtones, in which case it is likely to be more noticeable. I don't know if there is a vocal style anywhere like that in the world, though there might be I suppose.
As I understand it all notes are likely to have some dissonant parts when expressed and are not completely pure when they are sung but we can't hear that.
