The Waves SSL will null with the original signal if the EQ is flat, so the second part of that statement is incorrect.
Well, you can see the RenEQ high shelf required to get the same frequency response (in my other thread linked to a couple posts up.) So, either RenEQ is dropping the highs and requiring a compensating lift, or SSL is raising them.

Perhaps the SSL only generates that high lift when you engage a broad cut or something. But it clearly is raising the highs up if RenEQ isn't dropping them artificially, as the example demonstrates. I'm not sure it makes a huge amount of difference what it does when the EQ is flat, since most people would use it in order to actually do EQ. If it has the lift when actually used, then for practically purposes it has the lift.
