But some idiots LIKE hearing damage.

Over any listening area you're suggesting a tolerance which is simply not 
realistic.  +/- 3 dB is pretty good for most sites, and particularly good in 
a problem environment with lots of uncontrolled surfaces.

Nah.  That's after we make him a set of headphones from JBL 2445's, and sweep 
1.5-5 kHz into them at 50 W each.  Think he'll be able to hear himself say 
"louder than a jackhammer" afterwards?  
After all, not all of us can strive for the 100 dB dynamic range by pushing 
our environmental noise floor below 20 dBspl.
