Lower orders of harmonic distortion as written up in Cheever's obviously defective paper is a canard

Relative levels of distortion components are not meaningful, only absolute levels count. Once they are below the threshhold of audibility, what difference what their distribution is? Do you care which is more toxic and has the higher concentration in your water lead or mercury as long as both of them are far below the allowable safe limits? If a solid state amplifier's fifth harmonic distortion component is three times higher than it's third, what difference does it make if it's only .05% of the total signal? It's still inaudible.
