Nicely put!...

...It seems that a lot of the dispute regarding cables is really over matters of degree. This is compounded by the difficulty of verifying human perception in a reliable and independently repeatable manner. While methodologies to deal with the issues of perception have been developed and are used in other fields, they would be awfully difficult and expensive to apply to the study of cable audibility and other high end minutia. It doesn’t help that a lot of the audio community would consider some of the methodologies to be invalid.

Because the high end cable market is tiny with little potential for big profit, I doubt a rigorous study of cable audibility will ever be conducted so we’re left with what we have now, polarization and lack of consensus. OTOH, I don't think a lack of cable consensus prevents anyone from enjoying their music.
