Calling it GROUND is simply WRONG. That's where the misconceptions come in. Signal paths must be a TRANSMISSION LINE to function properly -- reject noise and crosstalk, and provide sufficient bandwidth for data. Ideally twisted pair or coax. Not-twisted pairs will carry the signal, but have poor rejection of noise and crosstalk (and generator whine is noise).
