Hopefully it shouldn't be all that amazing, I try hard to be logical and
not fall victim to all the biases we humans have.

(I'm planning to release a line of digital hifi cables for audiophiles

Ethernet cables market. Those 1s and 0s know which direction they're going,
and really care if it's the wrong way!)
