I never questioned that.
But I questioned that a DVCS system MUST be better than SVN (or other server-based systems like Perforce, which I also used many years ago or CVS which I refused to use even more years ago) just because it is
a newer technology or more cool or whatever.
Both may have their strengths and both definitely have their drawbacks.
It depends on what you want to do with it and what features you need and what
drawbacks you cannot afford.

I think a DVCS is better than SVN (or any not-distributed-VCS), because with a
DVCS you can work easily using a centralized paradigm if you want, (ex: using a
canonical repository). With SVN (only centralized) you only can work with a
centralized paradigm: is less flexible. With Git, Mercurial and Bazaar you can
do and work (if you want) the same as with Subversion, but the inverse is not
possible.
