Which was?
I was the one who started this thread and I'm glad my cryptic
reference was indeed picked up by some (Ereskanti at the forefront). This
is to say just because we can realize something, doesn't mean it doesn't
have to justified. That is the dangers of adding something to a game.
When Dowd opened Shadowrun's Pandora's Box of magic he left Teleport in,
and with good reason.

As far as progress, I consider it a recent phenomenon in the grand
scheme of things that is still only in process. All your examples are
within the last hundred years ignoring everything before it. That's not
much of a precedent.
