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.

Connections can get dirty or corroded or oxidized over time. When you break a connection and then make it again, you get better contact. Which is why one can often hear an improvement after doing so; for example, by reversing the direction.
