I basically agree - that's why I said "based on the available data" ! One problem here is that there is no "original signal" to compare with. Whatever the mastering engineer heard cannot translate exactly to what ends up on the final media, based on your premise (which I agree with). The mastering chain (amps, speakers cables) will be changing the sound so that what is heard is coloured already. So the final mix is based on that coloured perspective...but the bits captured don't exactly reflect that coloured perspective. So there are immediate deviations before the signal goes to the pressing plant.
