Have you ever been involved in an M&A meeting? You'd be surprised how often "Hey Google, it's your cousin!" kinda thing actually happens. I'm surprised by the amount of faith and assumed competence on the part of these organizations among the HN crowd.
The comments I'm seeing as response I agree don't seem to be conducive to an actual discussion so I'll rephrase but the point about the intelligence and infallible decision making abilities of the large organization being used as counterclaims do not really add up. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof is the usual bar for claims that go above and beyond current state of the art and science. D-wave has consistently failed in that regard. I find their approach unscientific and unethical for the kinds of claims they are making for whatever technology they have sold to whatever organizations. In the long run no one wins when such tactics are used.

Unfortunately I think you're outside of the edit window though. the phrasing you just used (in your second, longer paragraph) is fine to me! It should have been your original phrasing (both IMO and by HN guidelines.) Thanks for following up.
