Well, I'm not sure we all know that, I think many of us have a very highly developed ability to believe that out colorations of choice are objectively superior. And while some tubes have very low distortion compared to others, I'm unaware of any tube-amplified audio device that exhibits lower distortion than competently designed solid state. And I mean that exactly the way it sounds. Common midfi off the shelf has lower distortion than high-end audiophile tube equipment. That doesn't mean you can't like the tube stuff better, of course. That is a matter of taste. And maybe that's what Merc meant to communicate.
