I'm glad to see you didn't use the cable believer vs. religion analogy in the article.
Religion at least makes an attempt to provide explanations and values for subjects not, or at least not yet, adequately accounted for by science. Religion provides at the very least a mythical and ethical framework for matters that are as of yet not entirely within our analytical comprehension. Science edges in on religion slowly.
By comparison, from an intellectual point of view, expensive cables are nothing but entirely trivial lies and nonsense that are totally inconsistent with what is already well-understood by science. "Cable belief," so to speak, is a useless doctrine other than for purposes of making money off of some folks who lack an adequate understanding of a very difficult subject (electronics) and who perhaps have a weakness for wanting the best equipment for a sense of status or, more sadly and innocently, just for the passion for having the best sound possible. It is, in short, an intellectual fraud.
It's nice to see the audioholics board getting a little more traffic -- it's a little harder to draw a crowd when your stock in trade is "pursuing the truth."
