Engineering is trying to apply what we know to problems and then adding a safety factor in case we don't know enough. Rules of thumb rather than laws of physics would be more accurate. All I can say with any confidence is that the Omega Mikro power cords which differ only in the direction of the wire draw sound very different on many components.
