Still not convinced

People need to understand that with DVD we went from a few hundred thousand pixels, SD 4:3 image, 4:3 tube Televisions, to HD 2K 16:9 displays. That was a huge change over.

You have a right to qualify the leap from DVD to BD anyway you want, and I get your overall point, but you're simply incorrect there. DVD was already 16:9 since its launch. The leap from VHS to DVD was huge indeed, introducing 16:9 with anamorphic encoding and all the perks of digital.
And when BD launched, I got sick of reading how on most displays people couldn't tell the difference. Right now I could accuse you of minimizing the leap from BD to UHD like those people did with BD, and who's to say I'm wrong? It can be a quite subjective issue.

But i guess it's human nature. Nobody wants to feel like they've spent alot of money for no reason. We all want to feel like we've made the right choice. With UHD, some want there to be this night and day difference all the time when there is none to justify their purchase.

Following your argument, nobody wants to feel like they can't upgrade when maybe they'd like to either, so they convince themselves that the upgrade is not worth it. Or simply, nobody wants to feel like they're wrong, after publicly declaring their stance on something? Those are not valid ways to judge a format.
You can have all the doubts you want about the new format, but how can you just state that there is simply no improvement to get from it without giving even the benefit of the doubt to the opinions of actual owners and professional reviewers?
I've been into this long enough to respect those opinions. I'm pretty sure that with the right screen UHD can be a big leap most of the time. You're entitled to disagree, but please don't lightly accuse other people of being deluded because they have a different opinion. Just as other people will always believe that DVD is good enough, and well, what are you going to do? It's a matter of objective data to some degree (and there's data in favor of UHD too), but it's also a matter of personal characteristics.
