Digital information can get 'lost', or simply not arrive, by virtue of

them.

People buy all sorts of things. Where a market exists someone will fill
it. Whether that product works or not. If it were a claimed cure for
cancer the authorities would take action - probably. But interconnects etc
don't interest them.

Surly you've heard the results of a digital stream being 'lost'? On DAB or
FreeView? It doesn't effect any of the analogue parameters 'depth' 'space'
'positioning' etc. It's usually a bloody great hole followed by a chirps
and bangs as things attempt to sync up again...

You'll effect these things by reducing the data rate. But no cable can do
do this.
