Think of it this way: Amp manufacturer 'A' claims their amplifier delivers buttery bass, and creamy highs. BUT this is achieved not through amplification but processing - why would it be fair to compare that amp to another amp that does not use any processing?

Clark's test (each time I've read through the parameters) seems to be based on negating differences due to any side-chain processing (as you've noted)
as well as only allowing direct A/B comparisons within the range of linear operation for the amplifiers under test. In other words, it appears to find the space where the amplifiers are equivalent but excludes everything else from comparison. In other, other words, my wife is a girl, therefore she is identical to Angelina Jolie.
Within the scope of the amp challenge, that seems to be the postulate.
