I would laugh too.

EQ, in the general sense, is not used for such purposes as sketched
here. Subtractive, yes, perhaps.  Since it might be fairly reasonable to
identify what to ditch out at the beginning of any mix job.  But then
that's a perhaps.

When transposing the dynamics of this discussion a bit further, then no
wonder it's such a mess at the United Nations.  Take what this guy
said, interpret it w/o fully understanding it, then serve it to
comparses for a good laugh.
