So here's this person who basically says we can call of the whole postquantum thing https://www.quantamagazine.org/gil-kalais-argument-against-quantum-computers-20180207/ … this is far outside my area of expertise, but he doesn't sound like a crank.
His claims were my mathematical/physical intuition since the day I heard about QC. I don't have any rigorous proof of course but I've always called QC a scam for investment $$$ and churning out degrees.

well, the counterargument would be that intuition is not necessarily a good guide when it comes to quantum physics. and I've seen enough smart people saying it's basically just an engineering problem.

"Effectively measuring physical phenomena to 1000+ decimal places is just an engineering problem" is a highly suspect claim.

There is a hegelian dialectic always present between theorists and experimentalists. It has always been this way. And this is the classic antithesis: Quantum computing will fail.
