Science Nerds making up shit, because they don't know.

It's true. Cable elves were hunted to extinction by cable goblins by the late 1980's.

The best explanation for the entanglement of cables is topological :

There's an infinite amounts of states a cable can be twisted and tangled in. There's but one state that we are happy with: a straight unentangled state. That one state enduring is a statistical impossibility.

Therefore anger at entangled cables is like getting mad that the number of grains of sand on the beach is not a constant.
