Re:Heated Debate Rises over Hints of Superconductivity Above...

Binary was a poor choice of words I guess.
My point was that if the current material only supports very low current densities at this high temperature, then that restricts the use-cases for it. I feel much of the popular science press makes it sound like all superconductors are equal, apart from the critical temperature.
Additionally, quench propagation is much slower in HTS so safe current dumping has a lot more time between quench detection and thermal runaway.
