Naive. Disingenuous. Delusional. You pick.

Some DVD's are indistinguishable from BluRay if you didn't know the source

I'm willing to bet money that I could tell the difference EVERY time, even with non-HD resolution displays. There are characteristics of DVD, particularly mpeg compression artefacts that are simply absent on blu-ray, such that a blu-ray downsampled to DVD resolution will still look better than the same film on DVD.

No it's not. It's a matter of quantifiable evidence. Some people, for whatever reason, are willing to ignore the facts...

I would suggest this discussion be split off into another thread.
