I've heard it said that using monitor cables made of oxygen-depleted
palladium-coated 99.99% pure copper hand-dug by elite third-generation
miners using only bamboo tools so as not to bruise the copper and then
lovingly refined using only heat from yak manure and not from any yak mind
you but only hand-reared ones fed a diet of grain and beer and finally
packaged into plastic clamshells blessed with virgins tears can improve the
tonality of raytraced images at least 0.002%. At least, so someone in some
blog somewhere told me, I don't recall who, but I'm sure he was an authority.

didn't you forget the part about the copper being only mined on the
third Thursday of each odd month ;-)

Someone was pulling your plonker, cobber.
Everyone knows that the best copper comes from Olympic Dam (SA) where it
is refined by burying it in beetroot for 3 years, smelted with roo dung,
quenched with VB and drawn into strands by wallabies then left in the
cludgie to get insulated.

nah, no-one would believe that, look, the yanks don't even put beetroot on
their burgers, they'd never accept it's used to purify their copper.
the fact is, the *best* copper comes from asteroids. now, being that we
can't quite yet go sailing out to one to get the buggers back ere, we're
constrained to getting it, grain by grain, from bits of said rocks that
have happened to fall to earth as meteors - which, due to their rarity,
explains why Best Buy is able to get away with charging >$2000 for HDMI cables.
after all, no-one would actually *pay* that much for a cable if there
wasn't a really good reason.
right?

The reason most will give you is:
At that price, it *MUST* be a very good cable!
The fact that there are others much cheaper that are just as good is of
no concern. They will tell you that the cheaper cable just can't be as
good, that it's impossible. Even if the cheap and grosly expensive
cables are exactly the same with only a different packaging.

Everybody knows that it is the packaging that determines the quality. I
never remove the wraps...
