The idea that a fan can capture a video of one of the 1D guys buying an ice cream with her iPhone, and within minutes that video can be uploaded and available to the entire world - there's no way the Beatles could ever have competed with that kind of penetration. So they're not necessarily wrong, if you look at it that way.
This is a great point. Can you imagine how many daily videos we'd have of Cavendish alone if there'd been cell phones back then?
