While I largely agree with the direction of Dunlavy's post, I will give slight shelter to two claims:
And dialectic do absorb and release charge non-linearly. It is called dialectic absorption (closely related to dissipation factor) and can be read in any good data sheet.
The larger the physical form factor the less this is a meaningful concern, since the capacitance goes way down.
Not really defending the position of many cable claims, but there is a hint of truth in there if you look closely....

For example, claiming that copper wire is directional, that slow-moving electrons create distortion as they haphazardly carry the signal along a wire, that cables store and release energy as signals propagate along them, that a final energy component (improperly labeled as Joules) is the measure of the tonality of cables, ad nauseum, are but a few of the non-entities used in advertisements to describe cable performance.Any properly shielded wire can be directional. A Faraday shield should typically be grounded ONLY at the source.
