I am at heart an objectivist but understand in the real world,measurements done well have significant value but they have limitations so other tools such as ears and a brain are needed to finish the job.
The again I have a friend who has designed speakers both for himself and as a hired consultant, I've watched him design a speaker on a computer using the specs on the drivers(usually checked by his own measurements on the drivers - sometimes necessary)to design the boxes for the drivers and the crossovers. And the speakers for a couple of years now have been 95% done before any listening was done. And the revisions for the final 5% were for subtle balance tuning and checked again on the computer. Now there were mainy years of experience that also went into the computer manipulation. But that's a lot of objective approach in the design of a transducer.
