BQP Not in the Polynomial-Time Hierarchy in Relativized Worlds

What BQP does efficiently solve, which classical computers do not, is a particular "Promise Problem" of the form "Input X is either of type A, B, or C, please classify it as either A or B". The promise is that I won't give you any inputs of type C, but you don't know how to tell if I break the promise.
Note also that
>> "In particular, it has been shown there exist languages A and B such that P^A=NP^A and P^B≠NP^B (Baker, Gill, and Solovay 1975). The fact the P = NP question relativizes both ways is taken as evidence that answering this question is difficult, because a proof technique that relativizes (i.e., unaffected by the addition of an oracle) will not answer the P = NP question. Most proof techniques relativize."
