There isn't that much weirdness -- it's just parallelising comparisons. Just 'cos it has "Quantum" in it doesn't make it hard. It's like this Pavlos dog reaction to the word "math"/"maths" people seem to have. I wish someone would make an ice-cream called the Quantum, that might help ease the tension.
