""Manufactures have conflicts of interests that may cause them to lie to themselves about what they can actually hear.""
Your statement implies that manufacturers have a common goal, and fall short in achieving it. Manufacturers actually build idiosyncratic products that sound good to them. If you agree with that particular manufacturers application of their product, and agree with them that they have a particular insight into "sounds good," - then you will be more likely to buy their product: depending of course, on other considerations.
I am not sure what your two condescendingly vague little anecdotes are exactly intended to elucidate, but it still appears to me that you are making completely erroneous, (and quite childish), assumptions about audio equipment based on a dramatic lack of experience.

Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
