Well I never said nor meant that, rather, my third (3) sentence should've hinted that I already believe what you are saying in your second sentence (2). Whereas my second (2) sentence was handwaving at the notion that if the parent commenter's remark (about improvment trends) were to be assumed then the rational argument must be subject to the same standards, ergo same difference (in argument standards). (Also I use a phone, please excuse any confusion due to not spelling out my online opinions in full)
To clarify another way, it seems the parent commenter and obviously many, many lay people seem to think ALL sorts of technology improves eventually and are always very assured of that. That's a common mistaken premise or axiom used in their arguments. (Arguably Moore's law (up until now) has been a factor in confounding this observation because so much other tech has historically benefited from it directly or indirectly)
