This may come across as nitpicking. I've often seen this perspective repeated and I don't believe it's correct.SINAD of 100dB is just as inaudible as a SINAD of 118dB, it's a meaningless competition of which number is sexier.
The main graph to reference is this one:
The message to get across is that SINAD is level dependent. Amir also posts some other graphs showing distortion for different frequencies. So level and spectrum. Level and spectrum. Like a mantra. Without that most of the single numbers people tend to discuss are meaningless, like you say.
