Digital cable quality can make a difference. Your premise that digital is either there or not is only partially true. The audio world has proven that. CDs were terrible to start with even though Nyquest theory proved there was no concern. What was missing was a better understanding of jitter. In video the digital signal clock speed, impedence mismatches etc can also degrade a digital signal even though the speed of the HDMI is all the same. Internal reflections (impedence variation in the cable length itself) can cause reflections and these can develope time code ghosts in the HDMI receiver circuitry. So its not all just hype and black magic.
