What about Spock?

No but srs, why do you think so?
They give us a choice, yes. I dont see the "pretending" in most positions. Especially when you look at Defense. You have to make so many compromises in terms of Physicals vs Skills.
I like that and I think its way better that that "paper used to be paper". I gues you mean we had Strength and that was Strength all around. You really want that? I think thats boring and without ALGs, this would lead to copy builds more often than not.
Same with Speed. There IS a difference between Speed and Exceleration (?). Also it cant be compared with Agilities like Footwork.
Let papers be now paper and rocks all the way imo.
Maybe I also got you wrong. And yes...thos capital letters are on purpose, live with it
