I don't think the problem is that burn-in per se is hard to believe for
many components, it's just that sometimes wild explanations are plucked
out of the air by some audiophiles and that detracts from the
plausability. Things do settle in over time in many situations, 
especially when there are mechanical components, but cables don;t move
as a rule unless you have very big fields being generated.

In point of fact, I have seen, or more correctly heard, cables moving.
In my youth I worked for an industrial automation company and one of
the products was control systems for huge motors and other electrical
systems that required big, big currents. If they went unstable
(hysteresis in the control loops, hunting, bad programming etc.) then
sudden peaks in current could be generated and it was enough to make
the cables bang against the metal trunking...
