: Almost all of the back and forth over how the franchise depicts the terminators is pointless.  The films say they are cyborgs, and so that is what the article calls them.
 If you want to quibble over the meaning of the term "cyborg" in this article, than you need a Reliable Source that says the films were wrong to use the term.
 Absent such a source, any arguments over the terminology's correct or incorrect usage here are pointless. —(T•C)
