I should have explained that Troops and Boarding Science are the only two tech areas that the AI uses exclusively for defensive purposes. Your method works fine if the human player never uses Troops or Ship Capture. But, what if a human player wants to use these tech areas? With your method the AI wouldn't provide any defense. By toggling the availability of the tech areas the AI will automatically allocate the appropriate resources -- the AI can only research, design, and build Troops and Boarding Defense if the corresponding tech areas are available. But, if the tech areas are unavailable (i.e., the player doesn't use Troops or Ship Capture) then the AI won't waste resources pursuing those tech areas.
