If your answer to every query about why you are not building better computers is that you can't, then my response to every claim made by everyone in the business is that you should stop building *bigger* computers until you know how to build *better* computers.

I will concede that one figure of merit that should get attention has gotten attention, and that is flops per watt. Aside from that, the business has essentially turned into a marketing claims factory.
