It is good news for BluRay. No, not every HDTV sold leads to a BluRay sale, but it's a lot tougher to get people to buy a BluRay player if they don't have an HDTV first. This creates a larger group of people to sell BluRay to, even if most of them won't end up buying it any time soon.
Your argument about biology is overstated. It follows the fallacy that people won't buy something if they can't tell the difference in their own home. People buy a lot of stuff they don't need and convince themselves they did need it. Other people will not be able to test BluRay (or whatever) in a situation similar enough to their own home setup to know that their home setup wouldn't show an appreciable difference with BluRay.
