I'm not saying I agree with the initial claim. Just wanted to clarify what I thought the poster was saying. I'm basically deaf in one ear so I only have half a horse in this race anyway.

I think the point is that you can distinguish distortion, not whether distortion is good or bad.
Can confirm that this is extremely common in Brooklyn & Queens, and very confusing when I first encountered it. I am now married to a NYC native whose whole family says this.
