yes! you are CORRECT sir!

and this is due to the "END USER" who is fooled by such nonsense. There are studies showing respondents registering sonic differences when shown different UI... pathetic but true...

and 100% the fault of the golden-ears golden-cable audio mythology B$ that has already ruined any pretense of objectivity in the Hi-Fi world and has basically been milking the pro-audio market, thanks to cooperative reviews and an industry that has a lot at stake if it speaks up...

Nothing prevent you from opening plugins without UI if you are wary of the halo effect.

We spend a lot of time on audio algorithm, much more than the UI. In the end plugins have to sound good whatever their UI, it's just that when you work hard on a DSP algorithm it only makes sense to present it in the best way, and not spoil your chance.
