I wouldn't argue against using CAT6 for future proofing but it will not offer any significant immunity to interference over CAT5E.

Yes there is interference in virtually any home. Both grades of cable are designed to operate satisfactorily in normal environments and for the most part they do. If a cable passes the CAT5E spec then it has to be capable of running at a gigabit over 100m.

Throwing in terms like "image rejection" when you clearly don't know what it means weakens your argument.
