Did you know that if a burnt-in cable was unused for, like, month, it burns-out and must be re-burned-in?

Yes, I found it by accident when I switched to different conductors within the same Valhalla cable. Those conductors were not used for many months and it took a few days of burn-in until it sounded as good as before.

Nope, but it's close. Unfortunately it's not in English, so the link will be useless.
Also, the whole system which was burned-in for classical music, will be spoiled and trashed if some rap played through it.

More importantly, some overzealous audiophiles will burn in their system for excessive periods of time, leading to a condition known as "overburning." You can tell you have overburning if the sound feels too revealing and too transparent, or your house is on fire.
