Nah. I'm just poking holes in your statement. You obviously feel the current laws of physics are absolute, in the past twenty years you mention.
Much like the known laws stated Earth was flat, and the centre of the universe for thousands of years.
That a God in the fertile crescent created everything.
That there is and never was evolution.
That there is no empty space; it's filled with ether.
Even that Pluto is a planet, but now it's not.
You are probably correct about the laws you refer to.
But often enough, people assume a measuring microphone will chart things at the same amplitude as their own ears perceive them, or the room reflections won't sum or null some frequencies just like comb filtering.
Or even that everything uses the same laws with the same way or the same results. One need only have a look at all the different results from various bass calculators for cabinets.
Last time I checked, none of the ones I viewed had any provision to include results for the space they are listened to in, nor their placement, nor the listening position.
Note I said calculators. I did not say plug in and use a room correction system without understanding how it adjusts playback to suit itself.

Technically, the baffle step correction filter is a shelf eq, but I've never seen 'shelf' used to describe baffle step correction.
I actually never made any such argument, nor would. Better to ask questions than make too many assumptions.
I was responding to another poster (mayhem13) that said the laws of physics showed that narrow baffles imaged better than wide baffles. I then asked, what laws in physics proved this? He did not respond as most people don't when there is no such law, so I was trying to goad a response with the majik post.That is all.
