A fair point. They'll be much better informed than me on what the real tangible threat is. All I'm saying is that it's not clear to me what the threat is.
I think there's a pretty big problem in CS research right now that very few are developing algorithms now. People get to a black box and put some gradient decent solver to approximate what's needed, rather than working out how to actually solve the problem.
So while, yes I agree, I think it's being overused even for analysis.
Just make the mens competition an "open" competition so that anybody can qualify if they can. A trans-woman competing in the "open" category would be no problem.
Wish they'd be more precise. Are they armed drones? If not...who cares. If we're just talking DJI knockoffs then even if they are piloted by russians I think we'd be better off ignoring them.
