Dumbest cable question


I know some cables may be directional or at least have some type of arrow showing where to connect each end. However, most do not. Here you go:

Is there any value to rotate your cables every now and then. In other words, switch the source component end with the “end” end. This way signals have a chance to flow opposite direction within the cable  

If this is a super silly question, my apologies.

Speaking of Pink Floyd, their engineers hear a difference in cable direction, right down to the earth cables. The article linked tells of the Astoria, bought by David Gilmore, and how it was transformed into their recording studio. It goes into all manner of it's origin, uses, recording gear and the engineers and musicians who work on it. A great read to past the time. 

The part about cable directionality is just past the halfway mark on the scroll indicator.

All the best,
