Wait till you see the list of respected Enron and Theranos supporters...

Do you have information not available to the organizations that have spent over $60M on D-Wave computers? Why are you wasting your time here?

>Why are you wasting your time here?

Because I like reading arguments from authority -- especially ones based on the premise that major organizations never buy into BS.

Which I guess explains why software sold to enterprises is known for its quality and utility.

OK, but that doesn't explain why D-Wave has so many paying customers (Google, NASA, Lockheed Martin, Los Alamos National Labs, University of Southern California, Temporal Defense Systems, US government, CIA/In-Q-Tel).

Even if one insists on "argument from authority", paying customers means nothing.

Satisfied customers, now, that's a whole other thing.

Repeating that list in your response doesn't underscore your point, it instead emphasizes how little you have to add in rebuttal.
