I was coming at the problem from a sane angle and meant that there was no way in hell that you could design a cable in such a way if you were simply trying to design the best possible cable.

If you are suggesting that Monster seperates each of the wires in its cables into multiple parts and connects them with electronic components emulating a diode (you couldn't just put a diode in; that would screw up the cable), then yes, it could be done. It would be an insane way to actually let the directional arrows make sense, but granted, when taken literally, my original statement was wrong.
