I think you have still missed the point about what proof means. If you believe (and know about) what science has established concerning the behaviour of electrical circuits and audibility then there is no need to perform experiments to determine what will happen. This is the whole point of science and why so many people spend so much of their time using and refining scientific knowledge.

In your case you do not possess the relevant knowledge even though it is at late school level for those with a scientific inclination. No insult is meant by this and I do not possess late school level knowledge in many arts subjects. The point is that the knowledge is common and useable by most with a scientific inclination.

Where you are strongly at fault is not understanding what scientific knowledge is, how it works and why people with scientific knowledge can perceive things about a scientific subject that you cannot. In this respect you are a bigot in considering your ill informed subjective view to be correct when applied to subjects which lie in the domain covered by science. Just as much a bigot as the "objectivists" you criticise who claim that blinded sound perception is the true perception.

So the answer to your question is no. Nobody with a technical knowledge about the performance of cables and sound perception will waste their time with people like Tubeguy once he has made it clear that he has no desire to understand what is going on. Like you I find it odd that so many people still post trying to correct his statements given his previous record of responses whatever his fascination maybe as an example of an extreme audiophile.
