Actually, I don't think I missed anything.

I'm aware that their argument is very rooted in the status quo, and I agree that current infrastructure is a big roadblock to adoption of new technologies (in fact, you may have missed that part of my comment), but if they wanted to allow for eventual adoption of new technologies then they should have said so. Instead, their comment dismissed this new technology as impractical today without addressing the future at all, which I think is an incomplete analysis and potentially harmful if it were to be applied by the people actually making decisions about which developing technologies to invest in. That's why I replied.
