I've thought of your idea myself in the past and I for one think it is a pretty good one. But I won't discuss it becaue that will just get me back into the war again.I was much more interested in the fact that a problem had been around for so long (or is it really a problem at all?) and that no methodology had been even discussed let alone agreed to as a starting point for solving it. The actual problem of the cables themselves is much less interesting to me than the methodology of studying it. Besides, it's not my fault if nobody has bothered to exert the effort to study it. That would after all require real work rather than the tinkering a lot of people who fancy themselves scientists do for a living. I personally couldn't care less which way the answer comes out and apparantly the cable manufacturers don't either. They don't seem to be hurting for customers for their products, they don't have the FTC on their backs, so why should they waste their money and rock the boat. (I think they already know just how the answer would come out the way the tobacco companies knew cigarettes caused lung cancer back in the 1950s.) Lucky for them they don't depend on people like me to make a living or they'd all be on welfare. Hehe.
I suppose that this gives people who otherwise would have nothing to say something to fight over endlessly. In the scheme of things, it's fairly harmless amusement. After all nobody ever got hurt being called names. Not even being called a troll.
