In this instance latency must’ve been 10 years, per my memory this paper came out in 1994
On the one hand, the list isn't wrong.
On the other hand, more fortunes have been made by assuming that physics will catch up (closely enough, anyway) to computational needs, than by assuming that every byte and every cycle and every nanosecond matters.
Making money and being highly available are different goals.
