Speaker cable arrows???

I bought a used pair of Silverline Audio's Conductor cables. Plugged them in 
and was very pleased with the neutral sound I was getting. Bare wire to the 
speakers, and bananas on the amp end. Then I realized that the arrows on 
the cables where pointing towards the amp. OOPS, I reversed the path 
direction, and couldn't hear any difference. Zero.
My preference would be to have the bananas on the amp end.

Can I disobey the arrows, and run the cables effectively backwards?

This thread is no different than the mountain🗻 of threads that came before it and will come after it regarding directionality.
Practically every response can be replaced with:
 "Is not!"
 "Is too!"
 No one changes anyone's mind, the same guys snipe at each other, and you inevitably break out those terrific little icons....

Riddle me this one fellers,
If the electromagnetic signal is carried almost exclusively outside a quality conductor, and electrons within do not actually move but vibrate, what does the signal care how the metal lattice is structured?

My apologies if this was already covered, the sniping got old quickly.....
