If you remember to do so each and every time the situation arises. One
slip-up, one mistake, is all it takes.

Exactly, so why do the rewards per run remain the same (or greater) than
they did when the characters were fighting this opposition at a lower power
level? I assume this is happening because in precious few circumstances
have I found it to be otherwise.

A samurai starts out trashing gangers to keep a community safe, a few years
go by and he's a full-fledged shadowrunner now coming back to the community
to continue what he did before, does he get the same karma as before, even
though the opposition hasn't gotten any better? In most cases, the GM will
hand out equal (or even more) karma than he did at the start.

That's another peeve of mine. If your karma rewards are actually going down
because the group is so much mroe powerful, then I was wrong in accusing you
of this. If not, maybe think about it a bit.
