I think he's pointing out that DEX, like other RQ
stats, is an game-abstraction of many things which
reflects not just overall manual dexterity but
reaction speed, which includes a little bit of
intelligent perception, a dash of strength (indicated
above) as well as general reflexes.

If you're going to take a strong realist position on
the stats (that is, the stats are exactly what they
say), then STR  should also effect Strike Rank, as in
some cases DEX would punish it!

Lev
