That is way overblown.

What they have is more akin to an analog computer, using quantum tricks to solve problems. The issue here is that most people disagree that this fits into the general definition of a "quantum computer".

That's not what Aaron is saying. He's saying there's no evidence that the D-Wave machine is using any quantum tricks to solve problems at all.
