    I was ~30 words into a post but I think the disagreement is just too fundamental.

    Agree to disagree.

    Cyberkinetics makes me think of Bionics. I doubt that's what they're talking about. I would assume it's more figurative, there needs to be more "movement" or activity?

    Not sure... weird way to put it.

    A Washinton post article on this hearing reads;

    "Modern operations will demand the effective use of cyber, kinetic, and combined cyber and kinetic means," Mr. Gabriel said. He said the shelf life for such weapons may be "days" as defenses are devised or offensive attacks thwarted.

    Cyberwarfare tools also can be adapted from intelligence-gathering methods, Mr. Garbriel said.

    "Rather, cyber [warfare] options are needed that can be executed at the speed, scale, and pace of our military kinetic options with comparable predicted outcomes," he said.

    It seems kinetic was used in it's good ol' fashioned military sense; (armor) penetrating metal.
