You are saying "engineering has left the building ". Let's see, who's building it is .
1) Superposition works only in a completely linear system. Find me one.
Oh look mummy, a man made completely from straw.
You know very well that that is a classic strawman argument. Because you can't answer the point you create a new spurious question. You know such a thing, a completely linear system, does not exist except on paper; I might as well say "If you know so much, show me a completely perfect amplifier" knowing that such a thing is not possible. You also know that the absence from reality of ideal,
completely linear systems doesn't mean that the practical linear systems that do exist suddenly stop obeying the laws of physics.
2) You resort to a subjective claim when saying that "Perceiving rhythmical structure is not going to be affected by a ten second thermal time constant". Ten seconds is a long time but the effects of that time constant could be noticeable (and measurable) at much shorter intervals.
Cheers

I respond to a subjective claim from you in kind, and you suddenly treat subjective claims as somehow "off the table"? Again, "move the goalposts" is another classic technique deployed when someone has nothing of substance left to their argument.
It's at this point that I bow out. When one side of the argument starts scraping the bottom of the barrel with logical fallacies like strawman arguments and moving the goalposts you know that they have nothing of substance left to support their position and any further disputation is just going to be unenlightening. If there was anything of import to debate here, that actually mattered in the real world like slavery, it would be worth the effort to keep 'pricking the bubble' until you gave in, but a little bit of minor grade audiophoolery is not worth the candle.
