Well, I'll certainly concede that there is a flaw in Harry's
logic, but not that it matters.

First, the wand could continue to pass through 20 new owners
in Harry's lifetime, but that only matters if one of those
20 potential owners realizes he is the owner, realizes that
the wand is more than legend, realizes that the wand still
exists, realizes where it is at, and discovers some means 
of getting the Elder Wand. 

Defeating Harry is the easy part, it is all the subsequent
realizations and actions that are hard. It is putting a long
sequence of puzzle piece into place and realizing what they
mean, then going through the long process of discovering
that the wand exists, where it is, and how to get it, then
actually doing it. 

Not a very likely sequence of events, unless Harry, Ron,
or Hermione blabbed it to the newspapers, which seems
very unlikely. I doubt anyone outside of the Trio know
the full details of the wand and what its final disposition 
was. 

If they were smart, they will have claimed, should the need
to explain ever occur, that they ground the wand into dust
and scattered it in the wind. 

The existence of the Wand only matters if people know, and
knowing that, why would you tell anyone?
