RE: Serious question

From basic principles, all manners of signal transfer require signal integrity thru impedance matching (interface chip, connectors, cable) and are susceptible to power supply noise, rise time, overshoot and asymmetry issues.

Thunderbolt uses active cables that introduce another layer of complexity.

So, there is no reason why usb c or anything else should be immune.

There is no magic solution other than careful implementation that would cost more than computer type lower cost hardware setups demand.

My view is that, the simpler and more easily traceable setups with less variables are better.
