Do speaker cables need a burn in period?

If someone sneaked  into your listening room and replaced your cables with the exact same cables that were not burned in, how long would it take for you to notice the difference in sound? 
If someone gave you a 10 to 1, $ bet that you could pick out the the direction of your cables with a blind listening test, how much money would you risk? 
For me, the real crime in these discussions is the suggestions that the difference in sound with these tweaks make an obvious difference.

There’s no crime being committed here. If you don’t care for the tweaks, you’re free to ignore them.

More to the point, I’d bet dollars to doughnuts naysayers and non believers on the thorny issues of burn in and directionality and cables in general have psyched themselves out. Psychologically predisposed, I think the psychologists would say. Uummmm, did somebody say doughnuts? 🍩 🍩 🍩

Does the proper direction change depending on the type of doughnut you’re eating?

Or the clock they use. 🕰🐍💩🙀🚽🔚
