I know it's idiotic, OTOH when do we ever wish to have knowledge about
objective 'twice as loud'? Did anybody ever thought 'shit, I need to mix
the snare objectively half as loud, but I don't know what's the correct
level'?

No, I wish to listen to the opera at the other mountaintop. Regarding to
the German wiki about SPL, the pain threshold is at 134 dB at the ear.
Assumed the opera house is at another mountaintop or in the valley, even
130 dB could be a little bit to less power. ;D Extrapolating a bit, that is one of the reasons
why an
unamplified singer in an opera theatre can have a dramatic
effect that is much stronger than someone yelling into a
microphone and being amplified to 130 dB SPL. By which I
don't want to imply that amplified music is wrong in any
sense.
*anything* at 130 dB SPL is wrong in any sense. :p
