Quantum computing is a narrow, specialized case of analog computing. To drivel on that replacing general purpose digital computers shows the incredibly retarded level of public perception of what computers are.

It's replacing the PC with this: https://www.analogmuseum.org/english/collection/meda/43/

As someone outside of the field I don't follow your argument. The author stated that the problem is not just in the analog nature of quantum computer, but in the impossibly large amount of analog parameters to process and also to correct errors in.
