I would have thought so too. I would be cutting my cable down because it's really big for the distance (which I realise is very short) and coiled up in the corner though, not to improve my connection. What I want to understand is why a shorter cable leads to a disruption of service.
Could it be that the the system can't drop power levels low enough to avoid flooding the router if the connection is too good? No, that doesn't sound right, but I can't work it out so I now feel that I don't know enough to attempt shortening my cable yet. It would never have occured to me that a shorter cable might cause service disruption, if I hadn't read this thread I might have caused myself no end of grief.
