The grandparent post isn't making a value judgment, it's just pointing out that the two cases should be approached and marketed differently. (And should avoid deluding yourself into thinking you have ice skates when you actually have something nobody actually wants.)
You're right. I also either didn't read the end of the original comment correctly, or it was changed later. The end of it seems to be making some of the same argument I was trying to, so my comment doesn't make a lot of sense.
Eh, I should know better than to comment when I'm that worked up about something. It's too easy to get tunnel vision. :/
