I agree and never said otherwise.

Fair enough, my original post was an overstatement.
As a 37 year old who has spent more days on the bike than not in my lifetime maybe I find the value to be less than someone who has ridden less frequently would. FWIW the only indoor training aid I've ever owned are rollers, I just never found them to be as big a deal as some make them out to be.
