And I just realized that the entire point of what I was trying to say in that little storybit post seems to have been missed.
Lemme try again, using Yuki as an example.
Nagato's having the powers she 'should' doesn't prove a damn thing. Handwavium regularly does things that involve far greater waiving of the laws of reality. For that matter, it has done things more difficult than reaching out and creating the DITEs just as an extension of her from halfway across the galaxy.
And the Japanese government has records of someone with her name, face, fingerprints and DNA. That person has a life - a real one, a history, people who know her ...well, as well as anyone does... going back all through her supposed life. She has parents, a family.
...but faking all of that would be within the DITEs' described abilities.
Nobody knows when the real first appearance of handwavium was - well, unless Haruhi is exactly who she thinks she is - so who's to say that the espers weren't just the first biomods, before the wave started acting... weird.
The only thing this does is make it so that we are quite a bit more clearly and precisely ignorant than we were before.
Ja, -n
