The comment is not in the gray as I write this, but one tends to get better results generally by providing more information in a positive light, rather than simply saying that something is wrong without providing anything better.
For example, if the parent comment had said, "Yes, the control over small numbers of atoms is interesting. Although transistors are going to be much larger than that, it is cool that the shrinking feature size allows [making up a "fact" here for demonstration purposes] edges of transistors to be sharper and a little closer together, so yields are higher for a given transistor density," then it would be more useful and better received.
Also, remember "today's 10000": https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/
