In a sense they were right, as the TV sound was transmitted in FM. Sarnoff wasn't thrilled... Though the egos involved would effectively prevent it, had Armstrong told Sarnoff that FM would make an excellent soundtrack for TV ("pictures and hifi sound, the public will love it"), maybe their acrimony would have not happened or been at a lower level... Who can know...
