Gravity is often ignored or considered constant or negligible. Gravity has a wide measurable spectrum, from at least nanoHertz to gamma ray frequencies.
John Preskill @preskill “The goal of airing some skepticism, [Matthias] Troyer says, is not to diminish interest in the field, but to ensure that researchers are focused on the most promising applications of quantum computing with the greatest chance of impact.”

John, besides, offering skepticism, or simply pointing out directions with known or likely impacts, another might be trying to nudge good people working on sensitive devices to consider things, like gravity – often overlooked, or assumed constant or negligible. Errors are good; errors contain lots of information, often much more than what the device produces on purpose. Noise is good, if you measure it, separate it and study where it comes from. Much ‘quantum’ noise overlaps other fields, but it takes things like time of flight correlation 3D imaging to find where it comes from, what it looks like at global scale, and what events cause it to be unique enough to distinguish and bear fruits. Skepticism is one type of human noise, one type of information flow. Sometimes it alone is enough to change the future.
