OTOTH, I don't see how it's relevant.

Big flyers are possible (whether or not they are "mostly gliders") and for certain applications (fuel efficient long loiter UAVs for example) ornithopters (even "mostly gliding" ones) are probably a better choice than other kinds of powered flight. Furthermore they becoming more and more technologically feasible.

What exactly are you arguing against?
