So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...

Here is a very relevant discussion among physicists about the directionality...the way signal and electrons should flow... based on conductor orientation. Some esoteric, high-end manufacturers say they listen to each conductor to see which way the signal should flow for the best audio quality.

Read this discussion. Will it make you rethink what you’re being told and sold?

Brilliant analogy Miller
But it destroys your position.

The car is not moving or changing shape.  But an intermediate effect makes it look like it is.

But the car is still not moving or changing shape.
It is just an induced error in the viewer's perception.

" Electric charges typically flow as slowly as a river of warm putty. And in AC circuits, the moving charges don’t move forward at all, instead they sit in one place and vibrate."

Hi Edgewound
Seems like nonsense to me.
Suggest you buy a mile of cable.  Connect one end to the mains.
Connect other end to your hand.
Eat your lunch while you wait for the river of warm putty to reach your hand.
Reconsider your opinion.
Ho hum.
