Been reading through this read and trying to understand the topic of neutrality.
Considering the previously mentioned "Circle of Confusion" described by Floyd Toole, how can we use terms like objective/neutral/transparent? A particularly target curve like the Harman curve is a summation of subjective preference. Doesn't that render it intrinsically void of objectivity?
I'm not understanding how claims of neutrality or transparency are made with confidence given the "circle of confusion," which in my laymen interpretation seems to mean that neutrality and transparency aren't possible. I feel inclined to believe that all systems are ultimately "colored," rendering further coloration perfectly acceptable and transparency/neutrality meaningless. Maybe I should ask in another thread? I felt it was related to target curves, which are used in Amir's reviews to determine adequacy.
