I guess each has it's arguments, but I would say the idea that indexing always wins, no matter what time period was proven wrong. No?

I sure thought it was, but it's tough to convince the Bogle-Heads sometimes. BTW, I found 7 more index beaters just in American Funds alone. lol

Not quite, but close.
It isn't true that indexing always wins. It is true that it is better than something like 95% of non-indexed funds, and there's no known way to know ahead of time which are the 5% that are better.
Given that indexing isn't hard, it's a solid strategy that does better than average for minimal cost.
Especially now that indexing has become so popular there are some pitfalls but that is a separate subject. If you stick the the original idea though it's pretty good IMO.
