FFS, once more for those in the back since people who don't understand how logic works keep pushing this dumb "point" on this board for various things:

"Successful technology was once argued against" is not evidence that "any technology that is argued against will be successful".

That should not be a hard concept to grasp, yet it seems to elude so many. A -> B does not mean B -> A. That's literally like day two of any class on formal logic, and only because the first day was spent discussing the syllabus.
