I`m sorry but I have to disagree.. I appreciative the way every device,
rule or even metatype in SR has a (reasonably) good theory behind it.
They might not be very likely things to exist but nevertheless
possible..
A game without a solid theory (or series thereof) would be reduced to
total anarchy! The rules could be anything because they wouldnt need to
make sense, impossible weapons could be made by a PC with the
appropriate skill and the game with not mainain the level of interest
shadowrun does. It would be a small insignificant RPG with no source
books ,fewer players and a name like Toon!!

...or a huge, vast game with countless players ('tho bailing) with a Name
that cannot be printed in fear of lawsuit. ( We all know who I mean)
