Indeed. It's much easier to criticize a new effort. It's not that the components of the criticism itself is necessarily wrong, but the conclusion that what the new endeavor is doing is impossible is purely based on armchair quarterback.
We should remain skeptical whenever someone says they will do great things that hasn't been done before, but immediately going to the conclusion of "it's impossible because I can't imagine how to make it work" is just plain arrogance - a true skeptic should be skeptical of his/her own judgement.
