His initial statements did not specify any category, and the
discussion previous had been about CAT 5.  When challenged
he specified CAT5e and later cables.

The point is *still* the same: the interface hardware cannot
determine what the twist rate is, does not test which pairs are
used for which data, and will work perfectly well regardless of
which cable pair is assigned to which data.  And that is by
design, not accident.

CAT7 is not UTP, and is outside the range this discussion has
covered so far.

Regardless, the target speeds for each category level has not
been under contention, and anyone can use Google to get more
information if desired.
