Posted this because of it's absurdly distorted claims aimed at misguiding readers for whatever reason.

To be honest, this feels like those claims made in C vs Java or things like that. "Look, if I have millions of years, and I only need to carry very small freights, then I can create something that is extremely more efficient than the thing you have built over there." Give volkswagens engineers the same time evolution had to produce the bee, and also consider a sensible scenario where you can actually compare the two, then we can compare them seriously.
