I think you may need to put this into context. Few would disagree if the sound was loud enough but then so what?

If you want to be exact then again you will need some context. Distortion is generally something like a deviation from a linear transfer function but generally isn't exact.

I would not disagree that some believe this have seen a few of their posts on this site. However, people with a more mainstream scientific view of how the world works will disagree as will some others among the best audiophile designers.

I think you may be somewhat confused. It is rare that audiophiles experiences are questioned but what is questioned is their interpretation of what is going on in the physical world.
