I studied E&M theory, taking all of the courses in it my graduate school had to offer. My qualifier exams took four days, one full day of closed book problems to be solved in electromagnetic theory and I made the top of the class in all my qualifier exams for which I spent over a year cramming. I found out after I graduated the authority I had earned the hard way was no match for salesmanship and charisma by the charlatans who sell such junk science as long grain copper and skin effect which they never bothered to calculate in their market-research derived cable designs. In the job market people with PhD's are discriminated against and in universities they are paid less than minimum wage while sports coaches get seven figure salaries paid for through tuition price gauging.
I think the future of cables will be more junk science at higher prices and the suckers who fall for it more stubbornly convincing themselves they can hear a difference because "double-blind listening tests are unfair,"
