Directionality Explained

I have read it argued against by those who think they know
Here is proof
Paul Speltz Founder of ANTICABLES shares his thoughts about wire directionality. Dear Fellow Audiophiles, As an electronic engineer, I struggled years ago with the idea of wire being directional because it did not fit into any of the electrical models I had learned. It simply did not make sense to me that an alternating music signal should favor a direction in a conductor. One of the great things about our audio hobby is that we are able to hear things well before we can explain them; and just because we can’t explain something, doesn't mean that it is not real.

Back to the study, that fact that the difference of resistance in both direction is so small, it does beg the question if the study was valid or the data been massaged or skewed?

Also nowhere in the study said anything about listening impression vs. direction of the fuses.

djones51,

"...if I rip the wire out of my wall and reverse it instead of reading 121 volts as it does now it's going to read what?"
That is easy. It will read exactly 121. 121 is 121 going backwards. So, you are safe.

Or it will read 120.99999999.....

No way. It would mess up Poynting vector and that is a big no-no.

Hee hee hee, Ha ha ha, Ho ho ho,
I'fn y'all, "Audio Cable, directionality Doubters" are really going to keep arguing a point which has already been made countless times then I just  have to ask.
Why?

I mean, If you cannot hear a difference for "whatever", reason. But you can still actually prove it to yourself by measuring the fact that there is a voltage drop. "There is ALWAYS a voltage drop". And the direction of the cabling should always be in the direction of the "Lesser" of the two values "Voltages", derived by simply measuring it. And this can be done with a simple "Multimeter". 
WHY? Why are you guys still spouting a belabored, "We don't get it"? 
I mean, You cannot be saying you do not "Believe' it at this point.
