If you're not familiar, Scott is a professor of MIT, specializing in quantum computing. Many readers of his blog are also well known in this sphere, so they would have more technical insight, more in depth than the pbs layman's version.

>>If you're not familiar, Scott is a professor of MIT

As I said, I don't doubt his ability. Its the presentation I object to. The HN blog leads to some random blog that barely touches on the topic that the headline promises and the core of the story is in a link contained in the blog. By any sane definition that is blog spam, MIT professor or not.

>>Many readers of his blog are also well known

So? Its linked to his blog, not to his readers. I don't care if his readers include Albert Einstein himself. The link did not deliver despite the authors (proven) ability to deliver on the content.
