That's silly. What if the person really did have a flat tire? You don't know authoritatively that the power cable really did make a difference. That's why it's important, if not absolutely essential, to make sure that causation isn't established without clear warrant. I mean, what if it really was a problem that could've been solved with a cheaper solution? Why not view the posts as an opportunity to explore other possibilities, and possibly even save money? Your post sounds awfully like you're simply trying to push an agenda (power cables make a difference) instead of engaging in true discourse with other members.
I'm not saying cables do or don't make a difference. However, there is something to be said about legitimate discourse. You assert that your problem isn't a ground loop, yet you haven't tried all of the solutions given by the members to ensure that it really isn't the case. To use your analogy, it seems much more in tune with the guy saying "look, my tire isn't flat!" without actually checking the psi of his tires with a tire-pressure-checker-tool (I have no ideas what they're called, even though I have one sitting in my garage).
