First, I've seen various "distortion" adding devices.Most of them fail to handle oversampling and aliasing (I'm talking about stuff that works on a sampled signal) very well. I haven't seen Howard's software in particular.
I have done some testing with various added distortions, done with rather a lot of FLOPS on a largish (older) machine. The work is not published, I didn't test it to that length, but in face low-order distortions, some various interchannel distortions, a bit of noise added here and there all have their proponents.
Something else that happens is that when people start to recognize a distortion AS a distortion, they stop liking it. I've seen that happen mid-test where somebody finally recognized some of the fairly audible artifacts, and their opinion swapped 180 at that time, very visibly on the test results.
The tests in the paper aren't actuall sufficient to justify his interpretation, they are sufficient to show "something is going on", but of course that's not exactly news.
Note: I'm not saying this is a bad MS thesis, please. I'm just saying that the subject is a lot deeper than this treatement.
