I think most politicians use the term quantum leap as a cliche', not
really knowing the technical meaning, but knowing that it is associated
with major changes.  
	If it is used with major changes, it can be construed as being
correct in that major changes, while being big, also tend to put the
field that they occur in in an entirely new state of (i.e. a descrete jump
has occured).
