It really is, in most cases anyway. Some peaks and nulls are determined by the room dimensions, but just as many others are related to placement of the loudspeakers and listener position. By the time you figure all of the low frequencies that need attention you'll have ten or even more frequencies to treat. And then you can fit only one trap of each type, which doesn't give enough absorption at any of them.
This is why I always advocate broadband absorption that works to as low a frequency as possible. If a room has severe problems, such as when it's 16 by 16 by 8 feet, then perhaps a few tuned traps can be used in addition to the broadband LF absorption. But since tuned traps are no more effective than properly designed broadband traps, I still see no real advantage to using the tuned type.

Your input is certainly welcome. I have already written extensively about this, including my article from Electronic Musician magazine last year, now on my company's site here:

I'll be glad for you and I (and others) to continue the discusssion here if you'd like.
