dB is a logarithmic scale: a 3 dB change represents a doubling or halving of power, and a 10 dB change is perceived as roughly twice or half as loud. A 5-10 dB cut would be highly noticeable, especially in tightly regulated environments like studios. To claim otherwise is inconsistent with basically everything relevant to this discussion.
5-10 db isn’t that much.

I’m aware.
When I lowered the gain from 5-10dB, it wasn’t a huge change.
