[Torg] Jumping in Torg

[Benjamin Grant]

That's the thing - I believe I have already done that, in spades, more than
once.  So I am back to being stumped. :(

Simple. You can answer the component questions that I broke out of your
question for you. If you can provide support for the answer, "Yes, the
speedster is being punished for possession of his special ability," you'll
have a persuasive argument. However, I think it will be hard to do that when
the speedster has lost no ability whatsoever when compared to a person who
is identical apart from the possession of super-speed (which means, of
course, that if the normal person has a cannon, the speedster must have one
too).

There's only a problem here if you automatically reject analysis that
doesn't agree with your conclusions. When performing reasoning, one should
always be prepared for the possibility that such reasoning will show that
one's previous beliefs were incorrect.

(And before you say, "But you're not doing that," note that my first
paragraph describes exactly how my beliefs can be proven incorrect in this
case.)
