That's not the argument being made though, which is that it does "work"
now and implying that actually it didn't quite work before; except that that is the same thing the same people say for every model release, including at the time or release of the previous one, which is now acknowledged to be seriously flawed; and including the future one, at which time the current models will similarly be acknowledged to be, not only less performant that the future models, but inherently flawed.
Of course it's possible that at some point you get to a model that really works, irrespective of the history of false claims from the zealots, but it does mean you should take their comments with a grain of salt.
