Miss the boat...

Hi,
What does miss the boat mean here?
If you think you can do that, you have just missed the boat.
Does it mean you are wrong?
Thanks

That doesn't sound like the most natural way to use that phrase. Usually it means that you have missed an opportunity to do something, and/or also that a lot of other people share one opnion and you are not in agreement with them. You have missed the opportunity to align with those people to do something.
