I'll tell you what. In good faith, you should ask your friend to fix the numbers in the post specifically in relation to concerns that people have with the testing methodology in relation to threads and the speedtest flag instead of handwaving them and to be forthright about how significant codec optimization historically comes after adoption.
Because it's understandable that you'd be defensive in the comments here, but you're not being honest about what's written.

You think so? Let's name them, yes? Ok, I'll go first:
* Splines. Explicitly derided as "vastly more difficult" and "I have no reason to believe they'd be better anyway".
Now you point out the next one.
You see, any unfilled area is specifically mentioned only to dismiss it as meaningless. Meanwhile, out of the other side of your mouth, you say "don't assume AVIF or even WebP have maxxed out yet". Sure. I don't. I'm not the one doing that. I'm just the one pointing out the hypocrisy of approach.
The entire argument trajectory is "this path is good, that path is bad, this one will naturally get better, that one surely won't get better enough", and the primary evidence given is deceptively inapt.
