"If this is your best data, you have nothing." Sergey Frolov

"Microsoft is trying to convince us that we're learning something fundamental about the device they have made, something that is invariant of how you take data. However, it is totally dependent. The output, which is supposed to be binary (yes majorana / no majorana) changes depending on data range."

"If there are 7 [orange] pixels [in this plot] that fulfill their criterion, then we call it topologically non-trivial - we say there are majoranas. [...] If you use a down-sampled version of the same dataset, you don't hit the 7 pixels anymore and your device is suddenly no longer topological."

"The 7-pixel criterion is absolutely arbitrary, taken out of nowhere. In fact, you can also easily see that if you want more topological regions, you will make your pixels very, very tiny [...] to just have more pixels so you can call your stuff topological."

"It is not surprising that all this happens. This protocol, as you tweak it and play with its parameters, it can generate any outcome that you want. [...] Looking at their data, there is no reason to believe there are majoranas in these devices."
