Thanks for presenting representatives from both sides of the issue—that's helpful!

About this:

There isn't incentive everywhere to keep QC developments public; and, presumably, great incentive to keep it private enough to execute Zero-Day attacks on vulnerabilities people don't know are vulnerable. That seems to be the major fear (and it is a fear, though always written in sanitized language) behind recent QC articles.

But is that just an irrational superstition, based on completely ignorant views of the technology? Or—in the spirit of December 7—is it more like someone in 1936 saying, "You know, the Japanese could attack Pearl Harbor." 🧐
