Hehehe... Yeah.
Conceptually I think about how office staff always used to praise new version of Word Processors SpreadSheets and Operating system versions with "amazing new things" they could do... and I would point out how the same features were present beginning on the Spreadsheets and Word Processors of my Commodore 64, a decade before... and were also present in the previous version of the software they had been using, for years.
The end result was, of course, just to "kill the messenger", so to speak.
