Huh? The topic has shifted yet again to hardware acceleration via specialized processing units. In the last post I basically agree with you that it will remain very isolated cases where those could come in handy for general purpose computing - due to reasons I outline. Please read my posts again without putting words in my mouth, you will see that nowhere do I claim that GPU's will speed up hardware and there's no reason for you to cry foul like that.
