@HerrSchwindenh_ fair comment, most competitive sports have qualification rounds, but you see the parallel with the cyborg topic #mscedc

Well this elicited a few responses and some strong feelings from my fellow students that centred on the question of whether the Paralympics should be a separate event.  I do see some merit in the point they’re making, as one could see this as a form of segregation, however, I believe the question I raised is still valid.  In the same way that we specify criteria for examination conditions, such as open book, calculators allowed etc., will we need to specify similar conditions such as enhancements must be declared, switched off, put in airplane mode etc.?
