You don't understand the point. I am saying a drone operator that's 10x times as good is not enough if you see 100x as many people. And, the suggestion was sending 100 drones instead of a single soldier so 100x really is the right ballpark.

A drone operator may be better, but are they really going to be 100x as good? Of course not.

Don't forget drones can't detain people, the options are observe, ignore, or kill. Drones have already been responsible for a massive increase in civilian deaths, because they make attacks seem less risky.
