Logical, but I never noticed. I've seen people buy gold-plated cables at exorbitant prices, and I think it's a scandal.
With HDMI being a digital signal, sending a string of 1's and 0's, it either works perfectly or not at all. The digital content in the HDMI cable does not change between your video player and TV any more than your photos do going from your digital camera to your hard drive.
