Well, I don't work for Bell Canada but since they are our parent company, as far as majority shareholders go, I'll refrain from joining you in making fun. Even though I might want to.
I once heard a salesman make a similar argument to a customer. I just had to ask him how good his ears were to hear a timing difference in a few feet of cable considering that electromagnetic waves travel at very close to the speed of light. I once once heard a similar claim, same store different guy, that the tighter weave of the outside wire in Monster Cable allowed the electrons to flow faster there. Thus making the high notes clearer. Sigh......
I'd like to think I knew enough about electricity and physics in high school to at least question the validity of such statements but it's a shame there is a whole market based around people who would take it at face value.
Indeed if you throw enough technical sounding jargon into your sales pitch, you'll convince 95% of the population (even though more than 5% of the population is educated, a lot of educated people are still gullible) that your claims are backed up by scientific facts. And who are we to question science?
Only God is allowed to do that.
