Regarding two aftermarket power cables: "These differences in the shapes of the musical waveforms are far too small to see or measure with even the most sophisticated technology, yet we as listeners not only routinely discriminate such differences, we sometimes find musical meaning in these differences."

 Nonsense. Just because people claim to "routinely discriminate" differences doesn't mean it's true or they're right. Apparently many have witnessed UFOs but that doesn't mean they actually saw extraterrestrial visitors, does it? Some have seen/heard a deity speaking to them "routinely"; does that imply that they are surely communing with an unseen/unmeasurable spiritual force(s)? Can we not put a little more effort into confirmatory reality-testing first when "the most sophisticated technology" can find nothing in 2020? (Of course, speaker cables can measure differently as per here, here, even if not necessarily audible in many cases by the time we connect amp to speaker.)

Over the last 4.5 billion years (give or take), sea levels have of course remained absolutely constant.

And now for a non sequitur.

A remarkable advance in loudspeaker technology has been sorely ignored by the audio press:

Boy, someone just lost their last shred of credibility.

And for the profession they're in, credibility is very important...
@nonoise I disagree. It’s all about how you think critically about things, how you determine evidence to be reliable, and how you evaluate it.

Whatever the subject may be.
The argument for a "full loom" is that they "work together" or "work together better" than unmatched cables.  Given that digital cables, ICs, SCs, and PCs are all performing different tasks, and the components they are hooked up to may come from different companies, with different impedances, and also performing different functions, please explain with detailed, specific arguments from electronic engineering why a full loom is ipso facto better.
