That experimental datum suggests several things.
(i) all materials at a cold enough temperature are superconductive and if
so, then superconductivity is a Classical physics phenomenon

Please think about what you're saying. "All" is a mighty big word. Does
sapphire superconduct or quarts or any insulators at low temperatures
and normal pressures?

Yes, I often choose the wrong word of all when most or some.

But I think in this case I have chosen the correct word of "all". I
like to make the analogy of "digital versus analog TV" in comparison
of Quantum Physics to Classical Physics where the analog is Classical
Physics and that we get not discrete bits but a wavelength of variance
and gradation. So that in Superconductivity of pure lead at 1.6 K add
silver and boost Tc to 1.8 K is one of those fine analog gradations
where if we look hard enough we can get a 1.7 K
by sprinkling in some other ingredient.

I believe Classical Physics gives us this variable spectrum of
endresults. Whereas if superconductivity were a Quantum Physics
phenomenon can not get any such desired endresults that we want. If QM
then superconductivity would not be so fine-tunable.

Indeed, I have not adequately considered pressures in
superconductivity, but that pressure makes the case of Classical
Physics even a stronger case in that we add the variable of pressure
and get a whole new spectrum of gradations. Everyone knows that
Boyle's Law of PV = nRT is Classical Physics.

How much of an argument can I wager that Fusion Physics is Classical
Physics and not Quantum Physics, ie, no quantum strangeness. Ditto for
fission energy technology. No-one would say that quantum tunnelling or
quantum strangeness occurrs in fission physics. So, if Fission and
Fusion were smack square in the middle of Classical Physics, then it
seems to me that Superconductivity should be purely a Classical
Physics phenomenon regardless of the tie with the upper limit of
fusion-- 2/3 breakeven.

Cooper pairs of electrons as per the BCS theory of superconductivity
is a purely Quantum Physics phenomenon in that it invokes quantum
strangeness. What could be utterly more strange than 2 electrons
pairing?? Nothing. In fact, I believe the Cooper pair is the most
absurd and preposterous modern day assumption and on par with the
absurdity of black holes.
