Well that's exactly my criticism: most of the author's objections boil down to "it's hard"
No, common English use of "it's hard" means something completely different from CS "hard". CS hard means NP-complete which to English translates as impossible. Impossible because of well understood mathematical reasons.
Quantum computers may solve it, indeed real life protein folding may have quantum computer-like properties.
