The argument is getting old in the sense that it was first used longer and longer ago.

In this case, we can only determine whether it's correct after it's too late to do anything about it. So if it was correct, we can say it didn't matter, but only in retrospect.

I understand your comment but I am tired of babysitting people to have some “cop on” and it is just getting worse. I’m a bit despondent.
