I don't know how Phil Smith (to whom the above was directed) runs his
games, but in general, that's not necessarily true ... The threat of
cyberzombies can be used against players as a tangible threat. The
players will know what ha means. However, threatening them with snipers
will not get the same response. Additionally, it can feel to the players
like you're "cheating". Threatening them with cyberzombies is nice
because it reinforces the idea that there's always someone better than
you. :)
