They don't have to, every fiber just needs to move 1/10th of a millimeter in completely different directions for text to turn into complete nonsense. As for "it's not like"... that's literally why we use braided cables, that's exactly what they do near the connector over time =)
(or any other place that bends frequently, so for cables that get coiled and tossed into a bag and then uncoiled and used a lot, that's basically "the entire cable")
- vel0city 3y agoBy move I mean permanently in a new position. I agree while it's being flexed the text is going to get distorted, but flexing it back would mostly move those fibers back. If they always kept sliding forward, you'd pull all the fibers out after flexing it a few times. They're mostly going back to where they were when you flex the cable back. I've written on braided ropes before with markers and they're still very legible despite being used a lot. Make a mark on a shoelace and flex it a bit. Does the line become completely messed up?
