Basically what you’re saying is “another person made a wrong prediction in the past, so your prediction about something entirely different is wrong too”.

People used that same quote when talking about NFTs, and VR, and 3D TVs, and literally every grift and failed “big idea” ever since.

That quote is not an argument, and using it is a tired technique. The only thing it signals is a blind belief in whatever the quoter thinks is good at the time.
