A better analogy might be that I have trouble running many MS-DOS programs natively in Windows XP, does that mean I could NEVER have run MS-DOS programs on a computer with less then 1% the computing power?
The analogy holds strongly in some cases.

It really depends on the HB in question as their beliefs can vary widely.

As you point out- that analogy might be weak for some HB's. But for others- it holds strong.
