$2000 for a power cord??

Question

looking in the wikipedia, i find my self seeing the most stupid thing i've ever saw, a $1499 power cord for audiophiles sound systems........ well, later a search in google took me to this: http://stereophile.com/powerlineaccessories/804shunyata/

a ''power distribution center'' (a.k.a. ordinary power strip) for $1995????? and a power cord for the same??????? I mean, i'd kick myself if I pay more than $2 for a powercord............ TWO THOUSAND BUCKS for a POWERCORD????? I bet they do the same job with the same results!!!!!......isn't that REALLY stupid? what do you think?
