I totally agree! It's the first article from quanta that made me afraid.ofnthe direction they're going. Scientific American kept drifting to looser and looser footing through bad analogies and not talking about the underlying mathematics in an effort to appeal to more people, the end result though was terrible.

This article was almost unreadable. Anyone with an interest in this is going to be familiar with ther term "matrix" and P vs NP. Most would likely have at least hear do BQP problems as well. What's the point ofndumbing it down any further than that. There comes a point where further distillation is to lossy, like an overly compressed jpeg that has lost any value as an image.
