However, it's fair to point out the section you quoted does not
mention or make reference to pumpable Challenges. In fact the only
place the RBT mentions pumpable Challenges is pages 22-23, under
Pumpable Cards.
That section says the following:
"Players may pay nuyen to pump up the Threat Ratings of some
Challenges, Runners, and other cards, indicated on the cards by a
nuyen cost and a Threat Rating modifier."
<some snippage>
"If a card survives damage in excess of its base Body because its
Threat Rating has been pumped up, the card is killed at the end of the
turn when Threat Ratings return to normal."
Granted the example the give is of Tinman, a Runner and not a
Challenge. However, note that they do not distinguish between
Challenges or Runners as the _card_ in their statement.
</devil's advocate>
Note that I agree with your interpretation. I just want to point out
where the confusion stems from.
