It’s true that sometimes people repeat mistakes of the past by iterating on a fundamentally bad idea.

But sometimes the idea wasn’t bad. The mistake of the past could have been in execution of the idea or tech limitations.

When any new VR product is released, I could post a link to the article for the Nintendo Virtual Boy and make a snarky remark about how successful that was. That doesn’t really add anything though.
