Yes, Dan, that is correct, but in the same time both you and me know that a
studio recordist may very well choose a certain mic because "it picks out
the best of an  acoustical guitar" or "if gives a warm color with this
particular singer".
I don't know of any clever sound recordist who select a microphone for a
particular task, by looking at the frequency curve.

Or have I misunderstood it? Wasn't this the topic?

Klas.
