Makes perfect sense. If the reproducer passes the test on late & loud records, it should do very nicely on the ones it was designed for, and in the event of people subjecting late records to earlier heavy tracking machines with rebuilt reproducers, it should do OK (though awfully hard on the records, and a bit stressful on the ears.
Seems like every antique mall has a Victrola with a 1952 MGM record or something like it on the platter.
