If you get your inspiration from the Koran, Harry Potter, Gone With the Wind, 1984, Bible or ANYTHING, if you assert that it is true, or possible, you are still stuck with setting up a quality control to PROVE those things. You do not get away with simply depicting something and claiming it is true before you work on it.
Most of what QM is proving is still stuck in the mathematical phase. True on paper or in a computer simulation doesn't mean everything that is proven on paper will be a pragmatic reality in the future. The most confident scientists who say it will happen are not claiming we are there yet. And none of them no matter how confident about what they think will happen will ever say "stop at the claim itself because that is all you need".
