I don't agree with this. I think that it's the SIZE of the HDTV that makes the difference as well as how far away people sit. Generally, people have smaller sets in non-dedicated rooms and sit pretty far away. At these sizes and distances the difference between HD and DVD isn't that great. Granted, I've got an older HD set downstairs, but at 42" and at 15' away the difference between 480p and 1080i is negligible.
Up in the HT room, with a 92" screen, 720p, and sitting 7 feet away the difference between DVD (upsampled or not) and HD formats is amazing.
