Anyone try stuffing their ports?

I do not understand the idea of manufacturers or reviewers suggesting that ports should be stuffed with plugs if the end user is having problems with the bass. After all. speakers that are sealed boxes were designed to be sealed, and speakers that are ported were designed to be ported, so how is it not wrong to change that by stuffing the ports? 

I've been cooped up too long. I read 'tried stuffing your port" and expected an entirely different discussion.

I stuffed a turkey once but not a port.

The anthropomorphic features of loudspeakers were explored recently in another thread.
