This is all just playing with ideas.

It's worse than that, its mangling ideas with bad logic.

I don't profess to be an expert
on hearing, recording or amplification or anything remotely connected
with them! Somebody, somewhere *must* have written books on this
stuff, but I probably wouldn't understand them... grin

First study up on basic logic. This seems to be lacking from your ideas.

I can see where you are coming from: "If listening to a live
performance, for the sake of argument, from a point source
instrument, our 'inherent distortion' is the only thing impacting on
the signal."

No, the words "point source" are gratuitous, and an obvious attempt to
introduce either a straw man or a red herring.

Do try to think logically and do try to stay on topic.
