CAT5 cable does not "suck".

An EtherNet interface can't even detect a split pair, and it
certainly cannot determine if the brown pair is exchanged with
the blue pair.

So just find a cite to explain anything about how that is done.

While a normal EtherNet interface does not have that type of
built in test capability, there are examples of test equipment
available, that can be manually applied to a line, which will
test for all variety of wiring errors.   Using a Time Domain
Reflectometer it is possible to locate specific faults such as
the impedance bump from a broken wire (or for that matter from
too sharp a bend in the wire).

Lets go back to the basic question, and restate the facts: The
specific color and or pair number in a CAT5, CAT5E, or CAT6
cable is not significant.  If different pairs are wired to the
appropriate pins for a particular data pair the connecting
interface will still function exactly as it should.

What that means in practical terms is that a cable can be wired
as T568A or T568B (or another "standard") as long as both ends
use the same standard.
