Ribbon Cables vs. Standard

I think the theory behind something like this:

and something like this:

is going to be very different.

Anyone heard both styles?

Would Nordost Blue Heaven counts as a "ribbon" cable?  I am not sure that I understand the question

Flat cables they can be very fast and if not careful  on matching? They will sound bright or thin or a system that is already resolving.

Then there are the Goertz Alpha Core flat cables.  Can't really compare to standard cables as you would need the identical cable built in both geometries. 

Holy mackerel!

I didn't realize the extent of the differing styles and geometries of all these!

Yes, my question is way too general and simplistic.
