I think we're arguing semantics here. You are absolutely correct, there is no such thing as perfect intonation on an even temperament guitar (check out true temperament necks theyre trip).

However I will outright disagree with you that the lightning bolt is "just as good" as an adjustable bridge. It is certainly possible to have one with perfect intonation at the 12th fret across all six strings but it is absolutely not the norm. So you have to compromise and split the difference on a few strings.

Frankly, I like the looks of a lightning bolt wrap around over an adjustable one all day. But an adjustable saddle bridge is going to outperform it in achieving best possible intonation every time.

Frankly, it's a lot of tinkering. However, my "ah ha" moment happened when I started paying with the cabinet IRs. While not a surefire way to make things sound "good" it can be a definitely be responsible for why your sound sucks.
