Do all good interconnects sound the same?

Before you get angry with me this is not my personal point of view. I have noticed differences in each of my interconnects. But I came across an article by highly acclaimed audio designer Rodger Sanders of Sanders Sound Systems. Formally of Innersound Speakers. His new model 10c won the Golden Ear award for 2010. I've never heard his new system but I like the Innersound stuff I heard. Here is a comment from the white papers on cables cut from his website. What do you guys think?

"There is no doubt that speaker cables can exert a small influence on the sound of your audio system. But interestingly, all well-designed interconnects sound identical". Rodger Sanders

His IC's are fairly inexpensive made from Belden Cable of some form. Has anyone tried them and what did you think?

(1) If all interconnects were "perfect" then they would sound exactly the same. This is an indisputable truth and is what the Sanders quote means.

(2) The degree to which the interconnect deviates the signal is the degree to which it is FLAWED. Thus, interconnects only sound "different" because they are FLAWED. The notion that good interconnects sound different is simply bogus. It is all about which FLAWED interconnect suits your system the best.

No, they sound different to the degrees to which they are flawed, where "flawed" is defined as alteration of the signal.
