Well, if they were "too dumb to do it right", that is not the same thing as saying that the general move toward privatization and free markets was incorrect. You are throwing the baby out with the bath water. It a gross oversimplification on your part to just say that "it didn't work for them". The problem in Argentina was mainly a currency crisis. It was caused by FIXING their currency in an over-valued condition for too long -- the ANTITHESIS of a "free market"!
