The first humans to see controlled fire probably got very excited by the notion; these days we don't think twice about igniting a match or gas stove.
Likewise, the first time you see a person holding a glowing light-bulb, it's intriguing; the second time might still win a ribbon. Seeing several in one challenge it doesn't have the same "it's neat" feeling, which is probably what the person is trying to convey (I'm just using the light-bulb as an example; I obviously don't know which image is in question).
I definitely think it's a valid influence on someone's decision, and being such is a reasonable comment to leave.
[ edit ] I'm assuming this was a challenge entry; I'll agree if the image in question was just something the photographer was experimenting with.
