Downvoting on HN is many things at once, but I hope the above comment remains readable. Beliefs like the one above are important because they help define the conceptual edges of categories, which cannot be surmounted and overcome until well-understood. Some might say, not unreasonably, that there's skill in applying/countering special moves in a similar way to countering some unexpected bankshot in Pong; those people are working from the more modern category of "asymmetrical character selection"-based videogaming. IMO the claim that Mario Tennis is Pong is verifiably correct, and it's also obviously wrong. Dropbox, as the infamous comment goes, "really is" "just" filesharing and -mirroring, scaled up -- and Dropbox is also something different than really flashy WebDAV.
