Are you up for the bet?  I can make some serious money off a
stubborn one like you.

Find "HDMI 2.0" cable.  Can you find it for me?  Because I don't see
any mentioned there, do you?

Show me a "HDMI 2.0" cable.  (At this point I'm starting to think you
may own some stock of some electronics retailer...)

/Ah ah/, don't try to change the subject now.  We were talking about
cable types, not about cable lengths.  For the final and last time,
show me an "HDMI 2.0" cable or admit that you're horribly wrong and
made a terrible of yourself.

Now, where are these mythical "HDMI 2.0" cables I wonder...

"At some point", I'm talking about the here and now.  Do you live
in the here and now or "at some point"?

No, you're wrong and don't change the subject.  We're talking (copper)
HDMI cables, not fiber-optical cables.

You still haven't shown me any "HDMI 2.0 cables"...  Want to bet?
Maybe that will cure you of your selfrighteous stubbornness.
