I certainly would not support having a computer compete in a contest on its
own.
However, does that invalidate the match between Kasparov and Big Blue?
I don't think computer-controlled contesting and remote operation by a human
are anywhere near the same issue. In one, the operator is a computer. In the
other, the operator simply has longer control wires.
