I guess we have to disagree on whether 2 dB is a practical difference in the
field. Obviously in a static path such as a direct wire connection, or
alternately a microwave path, it is.
In free air UHF broadcasting, 2 dB is nothing, and not noticeable.
Real world vs. theoretical, Bert.

So, to repeat, an 3.28 dB was supposed to have been the difference, which is a significant figure. But this shrank to 2 dB, perhaps due to the fact that these receivers were impaired to begin with. Sinclair's own speculation, which I would agree with.
THIS is what Sinclair concluded. Nowhere in that paragraph does it say there's no practical difference. And that is especially true when you read the last sentence from Sinclair.
