What is your point?


It's self-evident.

Flying wings are intrinsically unstable and are only flyable with computer
control no matter how much you babble about leading edges.


That's not what the people who fly them say:

If flying wings are "intrinsically unstable", then why
did millions of years of evolution not produce birds
with vertical stabilizers.

And that was "trailing edge", not leading.
