I've given up arguing with Audiophiles over all the things they waste their money on. Ultimately they are happy with the result and don't want to hear which parts of their setup are snake oil.
They tend to have very nice sounding systems regardless. There are so many stupid products designed purely to separate people from their money, like the device for shaving a bevel onto the edge of your CD's to improve the sound quality..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-QxLAxwxkM
We used to joke that the earth connection for lightning arrestors in roadside cabinets had to be straight or the electrons would fall out the corners. Not everyone got the joke though maybe because they do need to be as straight and short as possible and they didn't understand why (lightning has a lot of energy and will blow through insulation to take the shortest path to ground regardless of where the wire goes)
