There are some minor errors and omissions in this article, but honestly with the exception of the OpenSSL/sshd/etc stuff at the end it does a reasonable job of providing a lay explanation of the core problem with existing cryptography.
You could possibly make it more accurate by saying “with clock arithmetic”, but I simply don’t think that adds enough to the “correctness” side to warrant the complexity it adds.
It also provides a reasonable explanation of the slowness of standards development - again for the layperson, it isn’t perfect.
Seriously if there was version that stripped out the OpenSSL integration of a PQC algorithm it would be a nice article to point some non-tech friend or family member, etc to.
