"Ask Cecil," a syndicated trivia newspaper column, recently stated that
perfect pitch may be inherited, but who cares?  Cecil acknowledged that it
is a nifty trick to be able to whistle an arbitrary key, but most musicians
don't have it and still play fine.  Do you people with "perfect pitch" really
find it useful?
