This was one of those observations that was unexpected. As a result, people weren't really looking for it. Sort of like the observation that a copied CD sounds better than the original.
I remember at one time reading an interview with a cable designer. He provided a reasonable scientific explanation for why a slightly longer optical cable was better than a shorter one. Sorry but I don't recall the details. Now whether this was really what was happening or whether it was just a clever argument is not something I can judge. However, there has to be some reason as to why many people report hearing differences.
