I'm annoyed when I hit a page on the intranet that says to use my NT logon. Like anyone not in IT knows what that is.
Seems there are still some die-hards around creating helpful tips for how to login.

You're forgetting that they are probably talking about port costs, not just cabling (both labor and actual cables/gbics).
With two 40gb/s cables coming from each rack server, you're potentially removing 6+ ports and cables from the top of rack and whatever amount that translates up to the "core."
Though I'm assuming they use Dell blades with Infiniband switches. Which would mean they need 2-4 cables per 16 servers.
