Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?

Measurements are useful to verify specifications and identify any underlying issues that might be a concern. Test tones are used to show how equipment performs below audible levels but how music performs at listening levels is the deciding criteria. In that regard science fails miserably.

Why is it so?

Getting things to a minimum "technical spec" level that everyone agrees on is one thing.

What the ears actually  like is another. Science/technical data will be of no help otherwise. Subjective, subjective and subjective.

Be more concerned about your room and speaker placement. Stay off forums.
