I’ve been noticing this sort of comment a lot in discussions of cryptocurrencies.
Take for instance the following response to the Ray Dillinger’s email:

We're very far from original ideas: Uncensored, decentralized ideals are forgotten.
I remember, in the beginning, governments were really afraid of people's reactions, even to make small regulations. Today, we don't even discuss before accepting any regulation about Internet. Infrastructure is almost completely controlled/owned by governments or cartels. [1]
That is so far beyond reality that it’s hard to believe this person was there “at the beginning”. The Internet, after all, started as a DARPA project...
