Speaker wire is it science or psychology

I have had the pleasure of working with several audio design engineers. Audio has been both a hobby and occupation for them. I know the engineer that taught Bob Carver how a transistor works. He keeps a file on silly HiFi fads. He like my other friends considers exotic speaker wire to be non-sense. What do you think? Does anyone have any nummeric or even theoretical information that defends the position that speaker wires sound different? I'm talking real science not just saying buzz words like dialectric, skin effect capacitance or inductance.

Paulwp - I am astounded at the level of ignorance I have found here. People pontificating on the differences between this and that who don't even know what AC is. People without the slightest idea of how their gear works confidently ridiculing the engineers that design it.

Audiogon seems to be the gathering place for those who are both arrogant and ignorant.

Trolling again I see... Hope no one rises to the bait.

Elizabeth - I have been trying to explain AC to someone. AC for god's sake. So they can understand why the arrows on their cables are ridiculous. Does anyone jump in to help out? No. Why do you think this is?
