Where does this information come from?

[E-Stat]

The notion that “These guys have had the opportunity to drive everything from a Yugo to a Ferrari Enzo and understand the differences from an experiential standpoint.” has bearing on what?

Understanding that which transcends simple numeric analysis. That's why F1 engineers tune their 4 G cars based upon driver feedback given their basic design work only carries them so far.

You would seem to imply Toyotas are semi-crap while you lust after a Ferrari, Mr. E-Stat? Perhaps you could stand to learn a few things?

If you equate the performance of a Corolla with a Modena, then there is nothing I can teach you. My S2000, however, does a fair job of duplicating the F360's handling. Basic cornering and acceleration numbers are similar.

Toyota Motors is able to control manufacturing processes...

Do you have a point relevant to performance?

Why do you read Mr. Russell's information as a comparison of 24AWG to 12AWG?

Because there were quite a few folks here and elsewhere who thought these "tests" offered proof concerning all audio cables. Obviously, their limited scope does not.

...you would seem to hold “Theory” in contempt.

Theory is a great place to start.
