What precisely is Eliezer basically correct about on the physics?
It is true that non-unitary gates allow you to break physics in interesting ways. It is absolutely not true that violating conservation of energy will lead to a nonunitary gate. Eliezer even eventually admits (or at least admits that he 'may have misunderstood') an error in the physics here. (see this subthread).
This isn't really a minor physics mistake. Unitarity really has nothing at all to do with energy conservation.
By that standard of admission, "Gauss the Sane" admitted that Eliezer was correct.
I was very vague because I was not interested in engaging with you.
If you aren't interested in engaging with me, then why did you respond to my thread? Especially when the content of your post seems to be "No you're wrong, and I don't want to explain why I think so."?
It is important to make disagreements common knowledge. That would justify a comment of the form you suggest. That is, however, not the comment I left.
