I didn't say it was a matter of relatively. I was just stating what I believe to be the facts about what all high-end audio retailers do. I don't know exactly what to conclude from it.I see. So it's a matter of relativity.
So if one person murders 5 people, and another only murders one person, does that make the single-person murderer not guilty? Or maybe less guilty? Maybe guilty of something other than murder, like attempted jaywalking? Maybe we should actually give him a Lifesaving Medal, because there were 4 other people whose lives he saved, right?
I guess it basically comes down to caveat agonia. After all, victims deserve whatever happens to them, the same way buyers deserve whatever happens to them, right?
Just want to make sure I understand what you're saying.

We are continuously bombarded with advertisements about millions of products and services (not just audio) on various media venues or by sales people in retail stores. There is no way to survive that kind of barrage without the buyer taking some responsibility to figure out whether those claims are true or not (or important or not).]
In the case of audio cables, it is actually true that there are differences in electrical properties from one brand/model of cable to another, but most knowledgeable people understand that the differences are very tiny (and sometimes not measurable with current instruments) and not audible to human ear.
