As for my source...nobody who disagrees with my point of view ever provides a source to back up their views, so why should I? I've provided a link to many of my arguments over time but the same guys just carry on ignoring them and protesting the opposite.

Strange, that.
Something that is regularly reviewed and updated to take account of current circumstances before being allowed to continue is by definition not old fashioned. Much the same way as a suit bought last week from Marks and Spencer’s Spring 2019 collection isn’t old fashioned, just because they’ve been selling suits for over a century.

From the rest of your post I deduce that you cannot cite any research that backs up your assertion that switching the BBC to a subscription funding model would result in only a slightly smaller number of subscribers compared to licence fee payers.
