Why didn’t you use an actual cable?
It doesn’t really matter. A rope, hose or a cable all behave the same. This piece of paracord illustrates the point and as you said, you can try it out yourself.
Also, I applaud you for being able to admit when you’ve been wrong. That’s rare nowdays.

FWIW, I don’t find that video convincing of anything, because it’s too difficult to see what the cable is doing, especially with respect to twist as it gets coiled.
