HDMI signal loss after 40 ft - true or false?

Everyone has heard the HDMI disclaimer; if your HDMI cable run is longer than 40 ft, you will need a booster to avoid signal loss. If this is entirely true, then why do manufactures even make lengths over 40 ft?

I have not personally seen any data supporting this or disputing this, but I will say I do in fact avoid using HDMI in any length beyond the 40 ft mark.

I am just curious if any one has actually seen any data supporting the 40 ft rule?
