Here is what I think, most IC manufacturers design their chips having very high open loop gain, which can show perfect readings in the meter, although this same feature has the tendency to leave the sound very dry..
A measuring meter is linear, it has no life, no emotions, while ears are non linear, and it has subjective sense..
I think its easier to make a circuit that scores perfect on the meter, but the challenge is making something that sounds good.
Its really not about whether truth hurts or not, the truth is someone like me goes by my ears and what sounds good to my ears rather than what looks impressive to my eyes.. Again, all this IMHO..
