>Now, there are two possibilities: one is that I was wrong, that it has merit, and if I go back and revisit it that I will see now what I missed then. The second possibility is that I got it right back in the day.

A third option is that the merit of someones worked cannot be judged from whether one person find it compelling or not.

That's not a third option. The question of how to decide whether something has merit is orthogonal to the question of whether something has merit or not.
