Does making distortion measurement of cable make sense?

I havent calculated millikelvins, but I always see higher or much higher distortion after a cable or evel small 10-20 sm long wire (it depends mainly on a load resistance and impedance stability of cause).

Audibility can be both as objective (measurable) property and can be very subjective property. And it is a very different topic to simple objective measurable electric distortion, so I am not talking about it. I can only say something about something I see at a screen of my measurement devices.
You cannot do the calculations, instead you see distortion along 20cm cable. Howdy-ho, I see😛
 
I had a friend when I gave him a unique book with experiments and conclusions from 200 research institutes to read, he said that he could only learn the title of this book only because the rest of the font and graphics were too small. In other words, one author can write a very cool book, while another cannot or does not even want to read it ...
I showed another friend this article about audio cables, he also could not read, but he is a simple audiophile, a cook by training, i.e. he is forgivable. He asked to retell the content with interest and listened attentively, but then he still stubbornly insisted that the speaker cable be at least 2 meters in length ... Although the article says the opposite ... The main reason is that the factory cable already has connectors and he won't be able to cut it.

On this very forum, people experimented with coat hanger wire...
My recollection is it was an audioholics forum post that went viral. Still IMO as originally related one of the least credible debunks in audio, mostly useful for as a measuring stick for proponent's credibility. Science is equally disserved when promulgating poor arguments both for or against a position.
