Sure, but the cost to solve a petaflop problem is not. We hit a point where the bottleneck is no longer flops but being able to organize systems that can use them effectively. Doesn't matter how fast you think we will overcome this problem, it illustrates to many people that the intersection between the world that is not increasing exponentially and chip speeds starts to matter a great deal when you want to actually solve a problem by moving floating point numbers about.
