USB cable hype

Can someone explain the need for expensive USB cables for short runs? The only parameter of concern is impedance. I personally have verified error-free transmission in the Gbps range regardless of cable make/model as long as the cable length is short. There is no magic. It is just about impedance control to minimize loss and jitter. This is inexpensive in the MHz range. I will pay more for a cable that it is well built. I will not pay more for hocus pocus.

The only topic that's more pointless and inciting than a ' do cables make a difference'. ....is a 'do digital cables make a difference'...it's pointless. You will get the same answers and rationale you always get from each camp. This is one you simply must find out for yourself.

That being said...you question came across as more of a statement.
