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.
