Point taken. The late mic mod guru Stephen Paul used to say of these complex electro-acoustical systems "we love them for their flaws".
I certainly agree with the point you make that a slotted capsule face, right angle edge and narrow venting can combine with a particular diaphragm and backplate design to produce pleasing results. The key word here is "system" - how the diaphragm (thickness, material & tension), air gap, backplate design, front-of-diaphragm cavity (or lack of), grille type, edge type and backplate venting design all work as a system - in any particular mic.
