Inspired by this thread, I dared to coin the

Result: general hilarity. Consensus was that this the most stupid
thing ever suggested. Had to take some action to avoid damage to
my own reputation.
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.
Faders and EQs are the most important tools during the complete mixing
procedure. You can do a mix without any additional tool, but you can't
without faders and EQs.
