Power Cord Length

In another thread it was posted that power cords should be no shorter than 5 feet. Can anyone explain why a 5 foot power cord should sound better than a 3 footer?

A friend was recently told by a famous cable maker that a 1.8 meter cable sounds better than a 1 meter cable.

Seriously (if there is such a thing in this hobby??), I 'm sure some of us will be led to believe there is truth in this (marketing reasons or otherwise) but the link below does suggest digital cable lengths are affected by it, not sure about PC though since it is not passing signal/information??
