Scott is the opposite of "people who understand QC the least". He has been dunking on D-Wave, IBM, Google, and others since 2008 about how bad their implementations were.
But now, he says we have to take them seriously. That's not nothing.
Ok, I stand corrected. Didn't go further than the Tweet.
He's a physicist at UT Texas, and he has thus, near surely, a deep knowledge of quantum mechanics. Will order his book.

As someone who went to Texas A&M HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS to Scott and his school! If he was super good with quantum he would go to A&M to research and teach!
College rivalries are a hell of a thing lol

Yeah, I only had time to read a little of the article that the tweet links to, but it does give one pause...
