So what you are saying is there are no clear definitions of what "jitter" actually is. Apparently jitter is a highly complex issue, or set of issues. One needs to examine all the facets of jitter, but even if one does that, there is no established correlation between jitter and sound quality.

Wait, what?

All these audiophile vaporings and hyperventilating over jitter and no one has established a correlation between it and sound quality?

Are there unrealistic, "worst case" scenarios where it's possible to tell what jitter does? How bad does it have to be to be obvious? How is it measured? In decibels? In fractions of a second? (Is there a correlation between a decibel measurement and the time length of jitter?) At what point does jitter stop being obvious? At what point does jitter become pretty gosh-darned hard to notice? If jitter is less than that, could we agree it's inaudible at that point?
