I'm not sure if we are "permitting" anything, but I don't think it would be a bad thing if mathematicians and researchers in quantum computing explored the implications of this field with regards to previously stated problems.[0] Is there a particular justification you suggest a paper in math should have before exploring a problem besides that it's interesting?

It’s mostly just that the solution is to a totally different problem once you remove the constraint that any given square contain only a single value (as opposed to a quantum superposition of values). AFAICT this doesn’t answer any open questions about the original puzzle.
