Any competent mastering engineer has learned to overcome his biases. If he hadn't he wouldn't be able to tell what he is putting out and hence would be unable to deliver consistent quality product. Part of the training is to learn how easily one's hearing can be fooled and then learn how to go beyond this. These people make dozens of decisions every working day of the form: "Does this matter?" "Is this an improvement?" "Should I change X and if so how much?" Part of their art is understanding the limitation of their tools (which includes their own hearing) and using them effectively. The same applies to some extent with audiophiles, but if we don't get to hear their system we have no way of knowing whether they know what they are doing or not. In general, my experience with audiophile friends are that those with a subjective approach have much better sounding systems than those who follow a purely objective approach.
You should confine your remarks to your own lack of abilities and not extend a belief in your own limitations to others. You have no basis for such beliefs other than your own foolishness. People with beliefs like yours are one of the reasons for the sorry state of recorded music these days.
