....when he spoke to the over-committed sheriff in First Blood:"Let it go...."
We all get your point. Repeatedly. But you have gotten beyond tedious. John Atkinson and David Robinson, to name just two of the reviewer/publishers on this forum, are among the most fair-minded and professional people in all of audio. Their magazine policies have been stated and stated repeatedly, and they have both slapped the wrists and fired offending reviewers when necessary....the record was made public long ago.
What you need to do, "no guru, no method, no teacher", is pony up the money and start your own magazine. Do it your way. Be happy. Otherwise, try and live with the imperfections that you see in the audio mags. After all, the price of admission is rather low, ain't it? Or, don't subscribe at all....your choice entirely.
Again, I see no fundamental reason for special treatment of cables.
Obviously the cable manufacturers feel differently. It ain't your call.

never criticize their answers or offer alternatives? You're certainly right that some "discussions" go on too long, and some criticisms are unwarranted and/or outright nonsense. But not all the answers/statements/policy choices from editors/reviewers are Solomonesque either.Yes, the price of admission is very low (for S'phile), and I for one think I'm getting a more than fair amount of entertainment and info for my $$. But I thought at least part of the reason for the establishment of this forum was to voice both praise and criticism as well as ask questions.
Ok, you have a right to get bugged at any post and say so. But to eliminate criticism of mags/editors/reviews due to "It ain't your call" would IMO result in a Critics forum that's boring as hell and also eliminate a number of reasonable complaints and suggestions coming from civilian inmates.

And I did, just like anyone else has the right to do.

And where did I suggest eliminating anything? Not in any of my posts. I simply objected to the repeated rant of 'bjh'. I find his posts on the same dissected subject tiresome, and I expressed that sentiment succinctly. He made his point the first time. Flogging the point is tedium. End of story.
All the king's horses and all the king's men are rolling on the floor laughing at that one... one of the horses is neighing something about the price of tea in China but I can't quite make it out.
....the placebo affect you are experiencing.
My first review samples have just arrived from the post. Hey lookie, cables along with a note from the manufacturer, let's see:"Do not return. If you do we'll hunt you down and... you don't wanna know!"
Hmmmmm...?
Seems you're right after all, I've totally exhausted this topic.
