There were two issues: 1. Quantum entanglement was not previously shown 2. D-Wave did not gives evidence of the ability to perform better than classical computers.

Now D-Wave has shown 1 but 2 remains a valid criticism. I don't understand why anyone should just assume that the D-Wave architecture can be faster --- for a restricted set of tasks --- than a classical computer.
