The distortion performance is not due to g2 voltage, but what g2 voltage does to the performance envelope, and where the load line is driven across the characteristic plate curves.

It could be this was treated as 'everybody knows that' sort of topic, and therefore effectively ignored.

Call up a solid data sheet, likely a GE one, and for a given idle point, examine what changing the g2 voltage does to the load line location. Stay entirely resistive( a straight line, not an ellipse) and examine a 6CL6 data sheet. I have no doubt the lesson is transferrable to your 6L6 work.
