Oh! Well then, no argument at all from me.

Actually, to gullible newbies, it likely IS necessary.
They may very well have no idea how "50ns" relates to
audible frequencies.

Hmm. True, but (a) equating it to moving your head 16 microns is pretty
clear, and (b) there's also the target audience to consider. There comes
a point when you assume that anyone reading your work doesn't have to
be lectured in first principles again, unless of course you're teaching
first principles.

At any rate, I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm curious about
the causes of measurable (but not necessarily audible) effects, and I'm
looking at DC to VLF (and maybe LF) frequencies, i.e. before transmission
line effects predominate. I'm just curious about it all.
