I’ll be the annoying guy who ignores your entire post and complains about you using celsius as the unit of temperature in a calculation involving the Landauer limit. You should have used kelvin instead, because Landauer’s limit needs an absolute unit of temperature to work. This doesn’t affect your conclusions at all, but as I said, I’m here to be annoying.
That said, the fact that you got this detail wrong does significantly undermine my confidence in the rest of your post, because even though the detail is inconsequential for your overall argument it would be very strange for someone familiar with thermodynamics to make such a mistake.
Notably, the result is correct; I did convert it to kelvin for the actual calculation. Just a leftover from when I was sketching things on wolframalpha. I’ll change that, since it is weird. (Thanks for the catch!)

No problem. Unfortunately people don’t like it very much when I’m annoying—I wonder why?
