That's simply not true, at least in my case. As I said in a previous post, I have some pixel level discernment at 72 inches when viewing a 4k 55 inch display.

I don't have golden eyes. I'm in my 40s and I wear contact lenses and have some minor astigmatism. I doubt my eyes are nearly twice as good as the median.

A higher resolution may not be worth the tradeoffs in cost or other factors, but it isn't as pointless as you say.

55/72 and 70/90 are nearly the same ratio, so you're not actually in disagreement. You have a smaller TV yes, but you're sitting even closer, which is why you can see some benefit. No super vision required.
