What a load of bullshit to spew out. The idea was to put LESS components, 
not more. If we can accomplish the same task with the same amount of 
resources or less, then there is no reason to have such crap implemented 
in the first place.

The truth is that the Modern Science is crapping in his pants, because 
"quantum computers" is nothing but an unprecedented unmitigated absurdity. 
Now, so to speak, the shit hits the fan.
