"Yep; I have a scope and a test CD too. Yep; I have seen this before too. Now think about this for a minute: The 'digital antidote' is placed after the low pass analog filter so the 'time smear' as you referred to it has already happened in the digital filter of the unit and the digital filters in the recording studio."

The Digital Antidote does indeed act on the post-processed signal. Take that post-processed square wave, and superimpose a copy of that square wave shifted back one-half ring cycle relative to the original, and then add them. This is basically what the Digital Antidote does. It combines a direct and delayed signal to cancel-out the DAC's own ringing components.

"Now to get back to initial question:
WHAT'S THE POINT?"

I already answered that question. See link for the answer.
