Who says cables don't make a difference?

Funny, after all these years, people still say things like "you wasted all that money on cables". 
There are still those who believe cables don't make a difference.
I once did marketing for a cable line I consider to be about the best-Stealth Audio Cables. 
One CES, I walked the rooms with the designer/owner, Serguei Timachev. He carried a pair of his then new Indra interconnects. Going from room to room he asked the room runners to replace their source to preamp IC with the Indra. There was not one that was not completely flabbergasted and said that the Indras blew away what they were using. That was the skyrocketing of Indra and Stealth. The Indra became one of the best reviewed cables ever.
Serguei now makes the Sakra-an IC that blows away the Indra!
I don't understand why some still do not value cables as much as I.

For some reasons, people believe in engine break-in, but not in cable break-in ... like these two exist in different universe and obeying different laws of physics.  

These threads all come to the same ... may I say happy endings lols.

@andy2 That is weird! Especially with all those moving parts in cables. Just like a car engine.

I haven't heard of engine break-in , in at least 25 or 30 years. They used to have break-in oil. That's really going back.

The all have moving parts for sure.  Also the are all made of the same stuffs - electrons, neutrons, protons ...  which can all be affected by heat, frictions and so on.

One time I was test driving a brand new BMW M3, the car salesman sitting next to told me if I ever rev the engine above 4K, he would stop me immediately and would drive me back to the stealership.
