If a cables will never fully settle-in from normal use, then if we just buy a cable that we like in this partially burned-in state, we can forget about trying to burn it in more, and just enjoy the music. How can we be sure a cable won't get worse after we burn it in using burn-in device? Where is it written they will always sound better? Since a cable will lose some of its "burn-in" from non-use, then why bother? We really would have to put our cables back in the burner each time we stop using the system, or we have to leave a CD playing 24/7/365. In the end it seems like a lot of trouble for nothing; and I am a big believer that cables matter.

Something changes in the molecular structure when a current is applied. Just wondering if we are going too far? As a mused above: Why wait forever for the cable to burn in? Just get one that sounds good in a perpetual partially burned in state, whatever that is!?
