Seriously? The technology that doesn't exist will use a discredited theory to access a poorly defined concept from the early 1800's?

What possible use can this level of speculative fiction masquerading as a think-piece possibly have? I'm trying to be charitable, I'm trying to be fair, but so help me I don't see a kind way to interpret this. I suppose the least damning version I can come up with is that this is more FUD-marketing that attempts to use the back door to make claims about future capability that the technology is unlikely to achieve; at least that's only cynical, not stupid.
