Classical, perhaps. Once upon a time, that would have included vacuum
tubes and that's it. Likewise, they now include every architecture
that you can imagine - but you have no evidence that that is every
possible computing architecture, only the "classical" ones.

They say nothing about the objection I stated. They are non sequiturs.

You based your claim on observations of, specifically, electronic
computers under Moore's Law. Escaping to generality in this manner
voids your ability to place specific numbers on it.
