If you do not have the expertise nor time to evaluate technical claims, how do you hope to arrive at correct technical conclusions?
Surely, you'd trust experts in that case? Like the experts that were involved in a multi-year international standardization effort? Like the one that produced ML-KEM and ML-DSA?
Or do you just balk at experts and "trust no one" even to your own detriment?

what detriment? there is no quantum treat, it is made up. at least not in the discussed timelines.
besides, experts are cheap and compromisable, especially for the nation state level bodies like nsa and eu.
