You're asking him to explain the subjective impressions of some biased
reviewed?  He's an engineer, not a psychologist.

Do they really use peak-peak results?  Meaning the largest deviation
from the ideal between two edges that occurs in some sample?  If so
that's an incredibly stupid way to characterize any distribution - it's
what's called a non-robust statistic.

It's like characterizing house prices in a neighborhood by the price of
the most expensive house within some (unspecified) radius.  

Clearly the mean or median, or in the case of jitter the RMS variation
from the ideal, is much more robust and useful.
