True. With the right conditions, even untwisted will do 100mbps but in a house and running through walls, rarely would the right conditions exist. But if you aren't pushing 100mbps, only maybe 1, 2 or 10 it could work. But you still have the unknown factors, like the splice block in the crawl space that gets drenched every time the washer drains........... I've seen way too many bad phone wiring jobs. I'm sure everyone here has had one of those "What in the hell?" moments.

The more twists the more the noise cancels out. Noise screws up Data. Noise usually comes from AC power somewhere. The lower the cat number the more screwed up your Data will be. Period.
