Smart alecky indeed.

A good designer of a phono stage will go to great lengths to try and get as close to the ideal De-EQ as possible to 'decode' the RIAA encoding. Do you think that same designer would ever put a big dial on the front so that user could have a tweak for themselves?

No, because it would end up wildly inaccurate.

Also, let's look at the type of EQ that's being talked about here. It is a digital EQ - if I'm not mistaken then this means turning the signal into a digital one - applying algorythms - and turning back into analog. It's proably like most digital out there - initially sounds extremely accurate and lifelike BUT becomes tedious and hard to listen to over long periods - the exact opposite of straight analog.
