To an extent he was right, in some ways terribly wrong, but that was the mindset at the time. People asked if they could be bigger than the Beatles, or if they already were, not should they quit at the top.

That was the only bit of the documentary that I really questioned. I was amazed they had so much video footage from the pre-DM days.
I agree its a with hindsight conclusion, at the time any new album by them would and did sell millions, the record company would be pushing like crazy to get them to sign a multiple album deal, and the band would have been crazy not to sign one.
