Here is the actual spec sheet from HDMI.org



So that article linked earlier must be out of date (a Cable manufacturer wouldn't have anything to gain by convincing people to purchase expensive cables, would they?)
Can't argue with that, guess i'm the ass now. I still contend that you can have a crappy cable that produces a flawed image (sparklies and pixellation) over long distances though, because I've seen it. Maybe too much error correction creates bad pixels, or packets lose too much data to be properly reconstructed.
