The fact that something that binds to microtubules in the neurone makes 
anesthetics less effective isn't any kind of argument that what going on 
in the microtubules is any kind of quantum effect.

The researchers are treating the Penrose speculation as if it were a 
proven fact, rather than a feckless speculation.

The fact that we don't know what's gong on in the microtubules isn't any 
kind of excuse to claim that it is a "quantum effect".
