RE: I followed the part

Two points. He goes even further than the fact that there is no one sound on n a concert hall. He points out that even from the same seat the sound will vary because of our head transfer function and the fact that we move our heads while at any concert which makes the HTF a variable rather than a constant.

This comes back to his premise about the objective measure of accuracy. You need a singular objective representation to objectively measure accuracy of anything. And in the case of the concert hall sound any attempt to measure the sound field around a listener position is impossible because any meaningful measurement would require hardware that would literally completely interfere with what is being measured.

Where you and HP disagree with JJ is on the utility and reliability to use a mental construct of what live sound in general is based on an amalgamation of long term aural memories.

IMO JJ makes the more compelling and evidence backed argument.
