Good thing he doesn't work for a cable manufacturer as that's a total
crock of crap that even an inexperienced person should be able to
detect. (You can't twist two wires to make them weight three times as
much, or cost three times as much.)
A foot of cat5 has more than 12" on each of the individual wires inside.
Not much but there is some difference.
