The fact that you can find exceptions do not change the fact that in the common case, tech x is better than tech y. Unless your use case clearly is one of the exceptions most of the time, you still win by choosing the tech that produces the best results most of the time, instead of the one that produces the best results in the exceptional cases only. So that tech-x versus tech-y is still very relevant.
