The post seemed to claim that because each small change didn't ruin it, it's not ruined. I'm saying that it's ruined to some because it's no longer the thing they fell in love with.

Huh, you know, I've never really noticed it as Xeno's Paradox applied that way before. I'll have to keep an eye out for it, since it can lead to such a different conclusion with the same information.

Zeno's paradox or Ship of Theseus?

There's a song that has the lyrics, about a drunk Irishman singing of home:

"He sings his songs of Ireland far away,

and of how he's going back to Dublin one fine day."

but carries on:

"And the Ireland of his heart's recall, If it ever did exist at all,

Now only lives and wistfully moves,

Through Paddy's dreams."

So many of our memories are very... rose-tinted.

More of a "You can't step into the same river twice" kind of thing.
