It is, because when you're using a smartphone camera you're not trying to hide the fact that you're filming, or at least it's harder to do so. There are already ways to film without having to hold a camera, and those ways produce a better product. The advantage of the glasses is you can be a creep but be less obvious about it.

- glasses are only for "clandestine" use

- any use case I could suggest will be dismissed because other tools exist

- those tools are "better" partly because they're not covert

- which re-asserts that covertness is the glasses' only distinguishing feature

- therefore the only use is being a creep

Am I reading this right? If so, it's circular, and I don't think I can do much more than just point that out.
