If you are alone on the band, then you probably won't notice any difference. When the band gets crowded, however, you'll start to deal with QRM. some of that QRM will be from people transmitting "dirty" signals, but if your receiver has distortion, some of the "QRM" you hear will be "generated" by the receiver itself as signals get mixed together. It is hard enough to hear that weak station with all the QRM on the band without having your receiver add "QRM" of its own. We care about the lab measurements because they help indicate whether the receiver is likely to be the weakest link or not.
The following short article from W8JI may help explain this better:http://bit.ly/1UvIRHW

Al,

Yes, but is it a difference you can discern without the use of special 
test equipment?

If I can't hear the difference, then there is no difference.
