All I know is that I pick up some cables they work for some things and then I try to use them for other things and they don't work.

Isn't the whole point of the USB standard to make it so you don't have to be a super nerd to plug stuff together? People just want to transfer data from their phone or camera to a laptop without navigating spec sheets.

But that's not really true is it? Things will work just fine, albeit slower. There's just a few devices that won't.
