Nope, I agree with you.  I think "correcting the phase" sounds like
marketing-talk to me.  Especially based on my understanding of what the BBE
Maximizer does, which is that it uses a dynamic EQ-ing process.

I imagine it's a lot easier to sell by saying it "corrects the phase" 
rather
than "alters the input's phase and frequency".

I *like* the BBE Sonic Maximizer but I don't like deceptive marketing-talk.
