The Science of Cables

It seems to me that there is too little scientific, objective evidence for why cables sound the way they do. When I see discussions on cables, physical attributes are discussed; things like shielding, gauge, material, geometry, etc. and rarely are things like resistance, impedance, inductance, capacitance, etc. Why is this? Why aren’t cables discussed in terms of physical measurements very often?

Seems to me like that would increase the customer base. I know several “objectivist” that won’t accept any of your claims unless you have measurements and blind tests. If there were measurements that correlated to what you hear, I think more people would be interested in cables. 

I know cables are often system dependent but there are still many generalizations that can be made.

In the end, the DNA of each product is what matters most.
Actually, DNA is organic genetic material. You're not likely to find any DNA in an audio component.

Tru-Fi can easily prove and let you hear which aspects a product cannot reveal ... Tru-Fi is very complex and difficult to create. You can not even make one mistake. ... 100% nothing to do with personal taste ...
For years, you’ve claimed here that you can prove your "Tru-Fi" claims. But you never have, you're too busy dishing up your word salad.

Again this can easily be proved by sound and shootout
If your claims were so easily proved, you would have proved it here years ago. Instead, you persist with word salad, which is fine. But you’ve lost a lot of your credibility along the way.

A "shootout" is the absolute worst way to judge an audio component, imo.
