    "in many cases sound better" is happy hand-wavey subjective observation that has nothing to do with acoustics.

Isn't psychoacoustics a thing? Wikipedia says yes. I'll believe you if you say "no", of course, but I'd be a little surprised to learn "in many cases sound better" wasn't a thing that had been studied empirically.
