The naysayers, even if they aren't strawmen, weren't "saying" anything of note. There aren't any mysteries or questions here: what can be achieved is predetermined by the factors involved. The key figures of merit are power, gain, path loss, noise and receiver sensitivity. Whatever those factors are determines feasible range, and they are all well understood.
