"News flash - As a matter of fact I have.
You see - all forms of distortion start off as phase shift or timing issues."
WRONG. Just because a distortion wave form appears slightly phase shifted from the fundamental does not mean that the phase shift causes it. Inductance, capacitance, and resistance inside the transistor itself causes nonlinearity. The important mechanism of these passive characteristics is energy absorbsion and emission, be it from the input signal, the power source, or the output waveform. There is no law that says this must happen in perfect phase with the fundamental. The phase is a result of the mechanism of distortion as much as the distortion itself. The phase is in no way the cause.
"I use a form of feedback that involves shifting phase by micro-degrees at a particular location in the circuit that will allow this type of correction to be effective in stopping distortion from happening. This type of "feedback" is 1000 times the potency of classic negative feedback which we know does not work."
You do not. Negative feedback isn't some fixed value. It's a portion of the gain. The best you could do is pipe the full gain of the amplifier into feedback. That doesn't make a very effective amp though. You can't make the feedback greater than the gain of the amp unless you're going to do something crazy-stupid like amplify the feedback itself. Of course, if you did do that, you're digging into that whole can of worms with inherently nonlinear gain devices which doesn't solve your problems at all.
You just don't seem to have any grasp on the facts and theories at work here, Roger. Just admit it.
