The signal does not "flow through a cable". This is an oversimplification. The signal is carried by electromagnetic field along the cable according to Maxwell equations. And there is also an electromagnetic field inside the real (non-ideal) conductor that depends on material constants of the conductor, speed of propagation here depends again on material constants and geometry of the conductor.

PMA, I learned that in school 50 years ago. However, even last night, a colleague and I were discussing the problems KBK previously alluded to when Heaviside 'simplified' Maxwell's 'quaternions' to the form that we normally refer to today as 'Maxwell's equations, of which I have a T-shirt with those printed on, to wear on special occasions.
What was changed? What was 'left out'? Can anyone here answer this question?

Getting the history right helps. Quaternions were a later reformulation of Maxwell. Heaviside was everything you claim to like- disliked by the scientific establishment, self taught, a really brilliant outsider who, at the end, they had to accept. Invented coaxial cable, researched and described the skin effect.
His reformulation of the mathematics of the original displaced the clumsy quaternion calculation method. The physics remains the same, but the mathematical expression is simpler, more powerful, and much easier to use. And it works, as is demonstrated by you using your computer.
Special Relativity? - the "right " formulation reqires Einstein's Spacetime, Minkowski 4-space - Clifford's Geometric Algebra is supposed to do a much better job than the Gibbs/Heaviside Vector Calculus with the cross product, "curl" relations failing in 4-d
for monople free, free space progation the G(3,1) fromula is a single equation ~ "Coulomb's law" + Space-Time
No, it is just direct logical conclusion that follows the "Signal flows through cable" distortion concept. No cables, no distortions. That means such systems shoud sound the best.
I agree that Heaviside was brilliant. Of that, there is no doubt.
The three points that are missing, compared to the original works:
Asymmetrical.
Unidirectional.
Elastic.
The most telling point of all, is that when you get into the areas of weird science that keep making claims that the theory cannot substantiate..oddly enough....those are the three things they keep saying are happening.
When asymmetrical and elastic are combined (breach though resonance), well, then all those bizarre claims suddenly make considerably more sense. Cutting edge physics is slowly bringing all of this out, in the nano, particle, and materials development world. Almost every day.. I read a new report at places like physorg, that substantiate these aspects. This glass ceiling is being breached.

Think optical, with high mass from the fluidic integration aspects, and granular interference in the translation medium.
And if you wish, all while keeping in mind the three original Maxwellian points that were lost.
Broken, Broken, Broken!
happening more and more, every day. Near thousands of examples of this sort of 'positive'. All one has to do, is go out and look.
Quantum decision affects results of measurements taken earlier in time.
There goes 'expectation bias', regarding it's use in scientific methdology. Thoroughly in the trashbin, where it has always belonged.
