Not true. A coax cable has inductance but near zero pickup. A twisted pair has inductance but near zero pickup. A woven cable, or other poor designs, will pick up RF and for these cables the amount of pickup may vary with inductance.
I was not talking about coax cables, which I hope was clear from my posts. I was talking about loudspeaker cables, which are rarely (if ever) of coaxial construction. For an unscreened cable my argument most certainly holds
