Try this..
Rig up a high pass filter that you can temporarily place at the terminals of one of your speakers, or on a spare woofer if you have one.
Use two individual wires as your speaker cable for this test.
Place a clamp-on ammeter on one of the wires (+ or - but not both) to the speaker.
Play a test CD with a steady low bass tone.
Measure the milliamperes (AC) with, and without the high pass filter over the entire length of the wires.
You will see that with the high pass filter in place the milliamperes are lower, throughout the length of the wires than without the filter.
Do it, and you will see that your statement "however this is an entirely moot point because the high frequency speaker cables are already being driven with a full range signal containing the same bass frequencies by the amp" Is incorrect.
With bi-wiring, the high pass cable is not subjected to the "measurable field" generated by bass frequencies, over the entire length, of the high pass cable.
