What's your point- they contradicted themselves.
Many AV cables are very thin, so that last comment is just wrong.
Those are just quotes copied and pasted from
your reference and properly punctuated with
quotation marks. Those are
NOT my comments. I don't know anything, except how to read English. I don't read anywhere that your reference contradicted itself, they contradicted you. I don't read anywhere that your reference agrees with your definitions of "wire" and "cable".
I forgot to include this quote from your reference: "For accuracy and clarity, it's best to use "wire" when referring to
single insulated conductors and "cable" when referring to
multiple wires bundled together within a common sheath."
Speedskater said: "Note that in our posts, the word
"wire" suggests one conductor and the word
"cable" suggest both conductors."
which is consistent with your reference that says: "The main difference between the two is that
"wire" is always a single conductor, while the
cable is a group of conductors insulated together in a single jacket."
You said: "
Wire is always a single strand,
cable is multiple strands in some arrangement. A pair of conductors doesn't make it a cable."
which contradicts your reference that says: "An electrical
wire is a thin thread of metal, typically made of copper or aluminum, used to carry electric current.
It can have one or multiple strands but always acts as a single conductor. They can be used independently or as a component of a cable."
and says: "Solid wires are single-stranded, whereas a
stranded wire consists of multiple strands."
and says: "The main difference between the two is that
"wire" is always a single conductor, while the
cable is a group of conductors insulated together in a single jacket."
You disagreed with Speedskater. You chose your reference. I read your reference. Your reference agrees with Speedskater and disagrees with you.
You seem to have made an effort to pick a ridiculous fight with Speedskater.
I am keeping my vow of no questions on Audioholics forums. I will abide by Speedskaters definitions of "wire" and "cable", as they seem to be the accepted definitions.
Your question "What's your point" should be followed by a question mark (?).
