I think this has finally sunk in what you're saying & showing here, in that case I don't think I'll be cutting down the number of EQ filters in the 1000Hz+ zone then, as I EQ "visually" in terms of how the proportions of the peaks & dips look on the graph (Anechoic EQ), and this new ERB knowledge in the vid doesn't change that given the perspective you're now showing in your post here.....where you say (as well as show) that a "peak or a dip in the frequency response graph of the same width will be more audible in high frequencies than in low frequencies".There seems to be some confusion here nobody has addressed yet. The key point in the video is how the equvalent rectangular bandwidth (ERB) grows as frequency grows which means that two sounds in high frequencies need to be further apart (in Hertz) than in lower frequencies for humans to be able to discriminate the sounds. However when we look at bandwidth in octaves, we'll see that the bandwidth decreases as frequency goes up. Combine this with the fact that frequency response graphs typically have logarithmic x-axis and the conclusion is that a peak or a dip in the frequency response graph of the same width will be more audible in high frequencies than in low frequencies. So the opposite of @amirm 's statement.
Here's the plot of ERB in octaves vs frequency

Moreover, Room Eq Wizard has an ERB smoothing function where the high frequencies are smoothed with narrower smoothing window than low frequencies: https://www.roomeqwizard.com/help/help_en-GB/html/graph.html
