That would constitute a measurement. The act of doing this would make
the cable live, or dead.
No it would not.
Unless you can prove otherwise :-)
Try it and let us know.
That's not proving otherwise. Connecting any load is in fact making an
observation, whether the load be a DMM or an organic breathing entity.
then define load?, is the insulation around the conductor a load ?
IS the air a load, the only thing that can't be considered a load is a vacuum.
I know of a Mr Maxwell who might have disagreed with you over the
vacuum, depending how long the wire is and how fast the voltage is
changing.
what if two wires were 1 metre apart and had negligible cross sectional area and the force between those wires was 1x10^-7n in a vacuum.

1x10^-7n in a vacuum.
There we are, the measurement has been oserved, the cable is "live".
it's not a cable it's a wire. Do you know the differnce.
