I love that when people disagree with a change they take it to the absolute extreme via things like resolution and internet speed to try and make it sound dumb.
Is there a name for that kind of argument?

maybe an
Association fallacy; the guy wants to remove something that didn't exist in 1999, so people pitch other stuff that didn't exist in 1999 (good internet, good computers) to make him look stupid.
honestly Baler for such a #classic champion, you're disappointing here.
if "some programs" existed in 1999 also to do similar things, then use these programs. GINA is not classic, and there is no way you can defend this.
and i'll pitch an association fallacy in there because we're having fun:
if you're defending GINA as something classic that we should be able to use in 2019, then you're defending the compass (we could use something similar in 99!), the Ctrl+M maps (we all had maps in 99!) and everything else you're fighting against.
GINA did not exist in 1999 and is not classic, period.
if other classic tools existed at the time, then use these classic tools.
