I'm sure we all have our favorite snake oil story...

I'm not even going to start sharing what salesmen have said while
trying to sell me cables...

I had a salesman try and convince me that the three foot RCA cable I
had in hand wouldn't transfer S/PDIF info, because it was an analog
cable.

Not because it was the wrong type of connector (which it wasn't) but
because the cable would only transfer analog electricity.

I snickered all the way out of the store.
