At human-audible frequencies, there simply isn't any signal distortion

Ahh, but "human audible" frequencies are only part of the story.

It is well known that _third order harmonics_, well above "human
audible" frequencies, do color the sound within the human audible
frequencies.

....

If they're a measurable component, it's because they've been generated
somewhere else than in the cable, though, and modulated into the human
range of hearing.

The cable by and of itself, won't be doing that.
