I am not in a position to argue the technicalities but I do like what I hear in my humble real world system.
I expect all appodising is not he same and am certain Meridian did a lot of research and listening before they released their preferred rendition.
There was a great program recently about the senses on BBC Radio 4
In the one about hearing there is a beautiful experiment where they play some distorted sound, so distorted that it's beyond and possibility of recognition. It's noise really. Then they played a transcript of the verbal content. After that when the distorted sound was replayed you could easily discern what was previously noise.

Not sure what this means here but it displays the power of the brain and the importance of taking this into account.
It also de values A/B testing at a stroke.

The predictive power of the Brain
