Honestly I think that comment got away from me, and looking back on it I’m not sure that I’d endorse anything except the wrap up. I do think “from a quantum perspective, size is emergent” is true and interesting. I also think people use emergence as a magical stopword. But people also use all kinds of technical terms as magical stopwords, so dismissing something just on those grounds isn’t quite enough—but maybe there is enough reason to say that this specific word is more confusing than helpful.
