Interesting. Just to comment, Mr. Mertz is realistic in the algorithmic sense. 
Running time is highly affected by various factors. For example, lets just 
assume that an insertion sort of O(N^2) time on a quantum computer is fast 
enough for all kinds of task in the world. So, naturally, there should be no 
problem and we should instead focus on other projects rather than making an O(N 
log N) sort for the quantum machine as its unnecessary. But, you're N^2, it 
won't change the fact that you're algorithmically inefficient. You, on the 
other hand, are realistic in the developmental sense. Why spend time on this 
instead of other things, right? I believe in 'depends-on-situation' and a 
balance between thinking about project and about algorithm, because without 
this project we wouldn't even be here, likewise without the algorithm we 
wouldn't reach here.

This is for discussions-sake and should have no bearing on the main idea.

Thanks for the input.
