Re: CFC - Accessible Authentication SCs, WCAG 2.2

I am unclear about the exception:

 this appears to except forms of Captcha that ask users to choose pictures
of boats (for example)

the understanding doc states:

If a CAPTCHA <https://www.w3.org/TR/turingtest/> is used as part of an

but then appears to contradict itself
