So, in analyzing a room, what do you do? I am fairly new to this field and I'm just learning through reading what people have to say online and stuff.

I wanted to measure ETC because I thought it would give me an idea of the reflection levels in different parts of the room, early and late reflections, etc and I would be able to see what degree of treatment I needed here.

As for the freq response, if it is done at different points in the room and averaged, an idea of the resonances that exist in the room would could be observed.

But I disagree with what you say in that the measurements are meaningless. I agree that the human hearing is complex and measurements do not take all those things such as generating comb filters, interaural level differences, interaural time differences etc. But with room measurements, we get actual numerical data of the room which we can alter to solve part of the problem leading to a better sound than without the measurements.
Additionally, I think that interaural level differences and interaural time difference, etc would even differ from person to person. So how do we even go about compensating for every single person's perception of sound?
The easier way is to attack the room measurements and determine the properties of a room for important places like studios, halls, theatres which will in a general sense improve the sound quality of the space.
