Any scientific data on cable burn-in?


Someone asked me today if I knew of any scientific papers or evidence regarding cable burn-in. I am not trying to begin a flame type objectivist vs.subjectivist debate here. I have experienced improvement in sound quality on every cable I own after break-in. I just want to answer this fellows question if I can.
