Isn't the goal also to make the phase as messy as possible?

I always think it seems to sound more wooden the higher the number of
resonant bands you have in a vocoder-type filter... even if all the
bands are set to middle position. And I guess the phases of the sound
is what's mostly modified then. Steady-state sounds are not as
spectacular, but every sudden transient will be fücked up.
