I just assume any time someones making a weird-ass argument like this its just like how old people at the nursing home feel more comfortable with old broken bullshit that we moved away from for a reason, as long as its the way they remember from 30 years ago. Most of these people would absolutely be using rotary phones and 8-tracks while licking lead paint if they could and would post for pages on their new ideas on how to recreate the wheel.
