I can very, very easily distinguish between 2K, 4K and 5K at two feet. I can even tell the difference between 2K and 5K at 5 feet. It’s not even hard. In perfect conditions, I am sure I could do it 8ish feet. In normal viewing conditions, I can read for 30-45 minutes on a 2K/1080p monitor and for 4-5 hours on a 5K monitor. So it makes a huge and measurable fucking difference to me. Also, I don’t get migraines from reading on a 5K monitor nearly as readily as I do from low-res crap.
