To be blunt, if you’re telling me you’ve sold a competent EE on magic cables I don’t believe you.
That "competent" is too close to the "true" in "no true Scotsman", unfortunately. I've heard at least one professional in a field where cable design actually matters (long distance power, handling the trade-off between more expensive cable and another transformer power station ... or whatever the correct term is) - so of course he "believes in cables" at some level.
So why should he not believe that it extends to audio, when he has, ahem, heard it with his own two ears? Because something that is way outside his field - he is not at all educated in how the human brain is wired. There is no "blind" in the way they test their cables.
