I fail to see how superconductors would be immune to capacitive coupling
at small geometries.  I further fail to see how the RC constant of a
given interconnection will decrease. The output resistance of the device
*driving* the interconnection will still be finite (and greater than
the wire resistance).

Could someone please enlighten me?
