It's only a scam if the cables can *not* be used with the clock rate 
/data rate as specified by HDMI 2.0. Since this HDMI guy was showing a 
cable that could be used with that speed, that cable clearly was a HDMI 
2.0 cable. So HDMI 2.0 cables do exist.

You haven't tested any cable that is sold as a HDMI 2.0 cable, so you're 
not going by facts as you brag about, but you're just assuming these 
cables can not be used with these speeds, and that they are a scam.
