I don't think so. Muller-Lyrer lines, photos of the St Louis Arch (examples of
built-in human perceptual error) and experiments where its been shown that
humans will gladly report differences a large majority of the time when given 2
identical sound presentations telsl me that the simplest explanation is that
perceptual error is the most likely cause of cable-sound.

For an 'explanation' to 'explain', there must be some content. Citing
'perceptual bias' does not account for many of the aspects in
listening, such as consistency from time to time.

Absolute nonsense! Repetitive reinforcement is one of the mosty basic
psychological precepts.
