None of them most of the time learn with their EARS acoustic concrete science in listening experiments...
Good experiments use trained and untrained listeners. I agree with a lot of what you say about audio, not all. To me 90% of what we experience is room/ speaker interaction and how we've tuned them with either passive room threats, EQ or both. As long as your electronic system is competently designed and most is, not specifically made to have a sound signature it's no more than 10% of it, and yes, that's only my opinion.
