It's such a perfect example of erroneous thinking that it should be included in psychology textbooks. "A always comes with B, hence A is required to provide B" is obviously, trivially wrong, but a truly incredible number of people will dig their heels in and refuse to admit that "B can be provided in other ways". In this case where things went wrong was that: "Before A the availability B was rare, and A requires B, and hence B become commonplace only because of A." You can see how the association can be accidentally upgraded to an "if and only if" instead of merely "if".
