Indeed. And also, human ears (e.g., "hearing") are an unreliable collection of transducers with a wide array of random frequency responses, while measurement microphones are very reliable, easily calibrated, and quite consistent in their "perception" of sounds.
But we are not listening to music using microphones.
We are listening with the old imperfect 'MK1' ears issued to us by evolution or the demiurge (depending on your faith).
For better or worse. And my whole lengthy missive was about fooling the MK1 ears and all the cognitive machinery attached to them.
Now that, arguably is a very different objective than "most SINAD" (way past what is audible).
