Many people don't care even if the World Cup looks like the Winter
Olympics due to static on screen. What does that tell you about people.

I think there must be something terribly wrong with your setup if the
differences are really so small. I tried different methods of connecting
my DVD player to my TV  when I got it and IMHO S-Video was twice as good
as Video and RGB was twice as good as S-Video.

This is all very device dependent however, I hear that on some TV sets
using S-Video input might even produce a better picture than RGB, but
surely one should be able to see the difference between using two pairs
of wire over using just one pair even with one's eyes closed.

And no, I don't see the difference between copper and gold plated
connectors, neither can I hear it.
