I used the "higher octane Premium gas = useless waste of $$$ for use in average (non-high compression) engines" analogy because I assumed it was an aptly fitting metaphor. But here you seem to be suggesting otherwise. Are you hereby inferring then that Monster Cable is trying to market a more expensive product which (unlike the the more expensive higher-octane gas, in my analogy) there literally exists NO practical justification for whatsoever (e.g. not even for use with satellite...)??
Pardon me for dragging this out, but I go into the local store where I've been fed the above 'Monster Cable promo' spiel a couple of times, and briefly chat with the sales reps and other personnel there on a regular basis. The subject will inevitably come up between myself and one of these fellas again. So I just want to be sure of all my facts before the opportunity again arises to call them 'on the carpet', as it were, to account for their claim.
