I'm not clear what your point is, but IMHO, if adding some type of distortion makes something sound better to someone--and that is a common and well-documented phenomenon--there's no harm in his or her knowing the mechanism behind it.I would estimate that most audio engineering types would prefer that the amount of added distortion then should be adjustable to the point of elimination (to the extent that it can be), instead of an arbitrary alteration of the signal. This would be so that the straight, unaltered signal can be heard, as well as the signal with the added distortion effect.
