Here's what the article is saying - HDMI is like the internet, or digital TV; not like radio.
If your internet connection is working, HN looks the same with a good connection or a bad connection. If your internet connection is down, you get nothing. 0.01% of the time, you might get a garbled page from a bad connection, but it's not a common problem.
But people think that the cables are like radio antennas, and a better cable = better quality picture.
Digital stuff is actually far more annoying to fix. If your TV is black (not fuzzy, like it would be with a bad analog connection), you don't really know if it's the cable, the port, the video card, or something else.
