Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best?


I have a dumb question?

who determined that the “ flattest frequency response” is the BEST?

we are all looking over specs and note all the +\- dB deviations from flat and declare it bad?

are we cattle? Or did someone like J Gordon Holt declare it?

 Or am I missing something 

Anyway, I think about stuff to much...lol

There are no good reasons for an electronic component to not have flat frequency response.  Loudspeakers have a different set of issues revolving around expected room interactions.  Flat frequency response at the listener position is not desirable.  It's sounds tipped up in the treble and unnatural.  Most listeners would prefer a gently downward sloping frequency response at the listening position.
