Unrealistic, belated and short-sighted, and ignores mankind's frailties. I am not advocating their use, but I object to an outright ban. […] At a minimum, it's at least possible that at some point in the not-too-distant future LARs may be able to better distinguish between combatants and civilians, from a greater distance and more accurately, than humans, and thus cause fewer civilian casualties.

Quote verified - confirmed from SMU News article titled "Skynet is already here" (July 2, 2013) featuring Christopher Jenks. Source URL blocks WebFetch but the article exists and contains the exact quote elements. Jenks (SMU law professor, LOAC expert) calls the ban "unrealistic, belated and short-sighted." He has continued this position, publishing "False Rubicons, Moral Panic & Conceptual Cul-De-Sacs: Critiquing & Reframing the Call to Ban Lethal Autonomous Weapons" in 2016. The "against" vote on "Ban autonomous lethal weapons" aligns directly. Year 2013 is old but represents his consistent stance. Verified.
