Should Emulators be Banned in Speedrunning?

I took an Intro to Computer Science class once. It was ok.

Emulators are software made to simulate the environment of consoles to play ROMs of games. It is an ongoing debate on how the speedrunning community should deal with emulator usage as in this video I cover a myriad of different benefits and issues when it comes to allowing them in competition. Hopefully after watching this people will understand why it's controversial and hopefully I'll start to see the question "can I use emulators in speedrunning" far less now.
