The argument is getting old in the sense that it was first used longer and longer ago.

However, it's still just as applicable as ever. Perhaps more.

In this case, we can only determine whether it's correct after it's too late to do anything about it. So if it was correct, we can say it didn't matter, but only in retrospect.

If only there was a mental concept of doing things correctly the first time. At the very worst manageable.

I understand your comment but I am tired of babysitting people to have some “cop on” and it is just getting worse. I’m a bit despondent.

		Despite the well-established mental concept of doing things correctly the first time, mistakes continue to be made. Perhaps by people unaware of the mental concept. I don't know what "cop on" means. I've been feeling a bit despondent about the situation as well.
