Short Throw Shifter cause problems?

I did a search and couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I understand the whole thing about the synchros and that the shifter doesnt wear them out, shifting hard and fast does. I just want to know does as STS put extra stress on the shifter cables. I thought I saw somebody say it does but havent heard anything else.

Load on the cables will be the same with a short throw or the stock shifter.
Problem comes because people put sts's on so they can SHIFT FASTER. Kind of the whole point of a short throw, right

As you note yourself, it's the hard fast shifts that do in the synchros, and likely the cables as well.

In which case mine cables are probably like Twizzler Pull-N-Peel's.
