Do these same people call Henry Ford a loser because his Model T only had 20hp?

Good points.
Though, for the type of music the Beatles wrote, they more than stand the test of time. It would be hard to deny the genius of their melodies and song arrangements and above all, their remarkable consistency. It would also be hard to argue that for what they did, they've been surpassed.
