This has nothing to do with the question though. > You're going to measure every point like this? Why would I need to? Is "tells you a bunch of answers to questions you never asked along the way" really the distinguishing factor for what constitutes computational supremacy? If all I wanted was just the lengths of the broken pieces, my simulation has to tell me the stress and strain at every point in order to be considered superior to a numerical simulator? Merely telling me the answer to the question I asked doesn't count? So if my prime factorization tool factored 4096-bit integers instantly, that's not enough? It has to factor a bunch of unrelated numbers and maybe solve TSP in the middle before we can consider it superior to classical computation?
