People wonder why engineers and scientists don't 'rise up' to counter the
ludicrous belief systems of audiophilia. I suspect it's because they're
laughing too hard.
A professional wouldn't ridicule - just note the observation and trace it to
root cause.
So if someone says 1+1=2.1, do you note the observation and trace it to
the root cause?
Ah, but what we were talking about is not that kind of issue.
Did you read carefully the quotes from audioquest.com?
If I tell you that after washing my amp in warm milk, the sound is so
much more liquid, do you note the observation and trace it to the root
cause? Or have you lost your ability to laugh? 
The ridiculous example you give does not have a bearing on what we were
talking about.
Oh yeah? So, do you believe cables need broken in, or there is
directivity in cables? Why do you think my example is any more
ridiculous than, say, cable-lifters?
The ridiculous example was given to show you that there are indeed
claims that can be outright ignored or laughed at. Why would anyone want
to "note the observation and trace it to the root cause" when presented
such claims?
