Isn't the paper mentioned in the article literally proving that wrong? Google managed to scale error correction and achieved less noisy qbits.

Sure, and analogously we're able to build bigger and more effective rockets than 50 years ago. We'll never travel faster than light though, because the speed of light is known to be the limit. I'm saying there will be some ultimate limit to coherence as well, but quantum mechanics is incomplete as a model of reality so we just don't see that in the math yet.

If that's the case, the QC computer endeavors are still worthwhile since while failing to scale them we may develop another piece of a more complete model of reality.
