"The Shor of Damocles" - what a metaphor.

I thought it was a typo at first but wikipedia explained:

The Sword of Damocles is an ancient Greek moral anecdote, an allusion to the imminent and ever-present peril faced by those in positions of power.

Shor's algorithm is a quantum algorithm for finding the prime factors of an integer

It applies to those subject to a capricious arbitrary power as well. Like living under a shitty parent, the same threat(s) they settle on to control them becomes the dangling Sword till its forecefully removed and they are neutered
