because erroneous logic doesn't change how the analog audio band absolutely doesn't care for a hundred megahertz speed. but the playback system might care for stuff that an ethernet cable may not offer depending on the desired use. like proper diameter for some passive speakers. or that little thingy called impedance. my ethernet cable is given at 100ohm for 100meters, not exactly passive speaker or headphone cable material IMO.Ethernet cable standards are a good example of cable design making a difference in terms of performance(transfer speed of data). I'm surprised they haven't been mentioned before.
TBH I too had those "brilliant while dunk" kind of ideas when I started looking into the electrical characteristics of wires. but one day you sober up(for some it takes an entire life time) and realize there is a reason why different cable standards exist for different cable uses.
