I mean, okay, using your own example:

Consider a comparison between Jaws (minor second) and Somewhere Over the Rainbow (perfect octave). Using your logic, EVERYONE will prefer Somewhere Over the Rainbow to Jaws. Correct?

You'll probably go "No, because there are all sorts of subjective overlays on top that change one's perception of the songs!"

My response to this is "that's the point." Even if one particular combination of sounds has a particular appeal over another in a vacuum, that doesn't mean they are objectively better. Trying to change, for instance, Jaws into a song that exemplifies the perfect octave over the minor second would result in a totally different song that lacks the same appeal.
