I'm not gonna unpick your post, but I will say that your second sentence doesn't even make sense and contains no logical/possible bridges within it.Please read the Harman AES papers.
What is measured at the microphones of the 45CA is the direct result of measurements and human subjects listening to "ideal" speakers in a "ideal" listening room.
Sure there are details in between and as you say it was not @amirm 's or my 45CA test fixture sitting in that room.
However what the 45CA microphones target is the Harmon Curve.
As I said, read the Harman AES papers for the details.
There is no "yes but"
Thanks DT

Harman 2013 Headphone Curve: if you apply the slope of the Harman Speaker Curve to the dummy head eardrum measurement of in-room flat EQ'd speakers (from their papers) then it totally equals the Harman Headphone 2013 Curve, I know this because I've traced the curves in Virtuix CAD and applied the slope to it in REW - which is why I'd said in my previous post that "it's only the Harman Headphone 2013 Curve that has the bass levels & treble levels that would be seen as a direct measurement of a "Harman Curve Speaker" in a room" - which was to correct your original post to @Hayabusa. (Even if they supposedly came up with that Harman 2013 Curve by giving bass & treble controls to their test subjects - the fact remains re it being a direct & accurate reflection of applying the Harman Speaker Curve tilt to the dummy head eardrum measurement of in-room flat EQ'd speakers.) Now....the Harman Headphone 2018 Curve has more bass & treble, just as I said in my previous post, and I also know that was a result of their test subjects twiddling the bass & treble knobs.
You were also wrong to say/infer that it was a "Hammer Shaped" fixture (like Amir's) that was used in the creation of Target Curve - it wasn't, it was the dummy head (Kemar) version - which I corrected you on too earlier.
The only reason I replied to you earlier was to correct the mistakes you made in your original post to @Hayabusa. Please don't go tell me to read the papers, when you're making so many mistakes in your explanations/understanding.
