How can you make a claim that Audyssey adjusts parameters within an AVR that allows the end user to "hear what was meant to be heard" when you don't even have a piece of gear that includes this system?

Audyssey is just a branding of a system that is included is some form or another in most decent AVR's these days. I don't specifically need Audyssey in order to understand it's purpose. If the goal were simply to allow the user to tweek the audio to his/her preference, it would have given them a multi-band EQ to adjust to their hearts content, and that's all. Given that it uses test tones and a mic, that tells me that it's adjusting for in-room responce, raising and lowering the frequency responce to more closely match the source. It's not a huge leap.
