Then you've never actually tried the relevant experiment with enough 
experimental controls to obtain a reliable result.

Patch cables are so non-critical in terms of their mission, that barbed
wire 
slipped through wet noodles (for insulation) would perform identically to 
sliver/teflon ones. So would 3/8" rusty steel rebar separated with wet, 
wooden clothespins.

Not only would there be no audible difference, but it would be challenging

to find a measurable difference.
