I am serious. Thank you for not calling me Shirley.
fallacy:
All Hdmi cables produce the same quality picture. If you want to argue, the amount of difference is not noticeable to the human eye so your argument is fail. If you did not pick up a HDMI cable for $10 or less from Amazon then you’re an idiot.

of course they are all the same, after I run them through my 500 dollar power cleaner...

Is that actually true? I'm no electrical engineer, but . . . cables matter in the digital world too. A gigabit signal can't be reliably passed over regular CAT 5 wire. You need CAT 5e or better for that. Even though the connectors are the same and they all have the same number of wires running through them. And digital signals are not always necessarily all the way on or all the way off, it seems to me. You might just have packet loss, for example, which if minor can be compensated with error correction algorithms or resending packets, etc. I have seen digital video degraded a bout a hundred bajillion times. You have a scratched DVD and it might stutter and artifact, but you don't necessarily lose the signal entirely. I would imagine, and keep in mind that I am a layperson, that a poor quality HDMI cable might use too small a gauge of wires, or poor shielding that could introduce dropped bits especially in longer cable runs, leading to artifacting (i.e., image degradation), but not necessarily a complete loss of signal.
I'm not saying that you should buy expensive cables. I buy all my cables from Monoprice and have never had a problem. But is the case really as absolute as y'all are presenting it? Or am I misunderstanding something?
