It's quite practical. If you have an amplifier that has second order harmonic distortion and no higher order harmonic distortion and you apply feedback you will reduce the second order distortion component. However, you will now get higher order distortion. This is completely objective and practical and can be seen on a spectrum analyzer. It also conforms with theory. When it comes to preference that's another matter, perhaps, since there is no mathematical way to define "preference" when comparing different types of distortion. (Note that this is a different question from preference involving euphonic distortion where some listeners prefer increased amounts of second harmonic distortion.)
BTW, I don't mess with tubes. I want my equipment to be stable and repeatable for years at a time. I've had my share of tube rolling and gave it up over 20 years ago.
