Not so. One of the core premises of the article that we're discussing here is that hybrid is proving to be quite difficult for entirely nontechnical reasons.

I agree that my previous wording was sloppy to the point of error. The point I was trying to communicate was that we already had agreement that an elevated assessment of the chance of a classical attack against a given PQ algorithm would lead to one disagreeing with the aforementioned premise that we should switch to a PQ only scheme making use of said algorithm. Rehashing that is just stating the obvious.

What wasn't presented was any reasoning to back an elevated risk assessment for any particular PQ algorithm, of which there are several. So at that point the "argument" amounts to little more than "nuh-uh, that risk assessment is wrong" which isn't exactly convincing or insightful.

This is hard to square with the reality that hybrid systems are already widely deployed while pure PQC aren't/
