Technically every way we judge audio or video is based on measurements it's just the manner of our own organic instrumentation vs. mechanical (and we are able to even visualize and contemplate the mechanical instrumentation due to our organic senses).
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.
