Yeesh, that’s a doubly-stupid comment...thinking not only that “old people” must be wrong but that “old papers” must be irrelevant.

They resisted the test of time, and the ones that are still talked about (survivors) are the most relevant, and better insights. While the thousands of papers that appear every year, most of them will be irrelevant.
