What? Are you trying to accuse the measuring instruments of dishonesty? Sorry, but the measured data is what it is. JA's remarks refer to how the measured data is to be interpreted.
Now, as to conditions of measurements, the ideal is to determine what the speaker itself does. Then, one can try to find out what tends to work best in rooms like the rooms people are likely to put speakers in, which is one of the things Dr. Floyd Toole did.
There is nothing to prevent you from measuring the response of your speakers in your listening room---oh yeah, you actually do that.

Ever mindful of David Bentley Hart's wise counsel that absolute subjective liberty is known only in hell, I'm curious as to what you would do if you were shopping for a speaker, found one that impressed you no end, was affordable, but measured poorly. Would you dismiss it out of hand due to the poor specs or make the purchase?
A Poorly measuring speaker would sound bad........

Yeah, just because E-stat comes up with some contrary to fact hypothetical situation doesn't mean it's of some practical value.

Well, this is a hypothetical scenario E-stat proposed:
"I'm curious as to what you would do if you were shopping for a speaker, found one that impressed you no end, was affordable, but measured poorly."

I answered , It would not impress ,well only in the short run and on special rcordings . You will always be aware of it 's short comings,...John referenced the 3.6 waterfall plot , ironically you can hear the smearing of details when listening to it , so I was not surprised when I saw the waterfall plot . It would have been interesting to compare it to a 3.7...

Try again. Who was it who asked that question?

At the listening position devoid of employing any overtly wrong assumptions. The bonus is that it is relevant data. :)
