Holding tank cable question

Hope everyone is doing well.
Just wanted to drop a note on something that I heard while watching day 3 of the MOC virtual rally last week.
There was a gentleman from keystone taking questions via email , and was joined by another gentlemen remotely from his home.
Don't recall the two fella's names, but I believe that they worked in the customer service/quality control department.
They received a email question regarding, what I believe was about the Montana holding tank valve cables. I think the two misunderstood the question and got off on topic of electric dump valves , and I believe the question was about the OEM cables themselves.
I had to repair my black tank cable , on my 15 3750fl legacy, the weekend before.
The issue I had was a binding cable which wouldn't allow the valve to close completely.
I changed out the oem stranded cable with a valterra solid non stranded cable,which I the the email question was actually inquiring about.
After changing out the cable the valve was smooth as silk and the valve operated perfectly. I'll try and attach a couple pictures and you'll be able to see the problem with the stranded cable , especially operating at that length of unshielded travel.
