That's an overgeneralization (is there such a word ? :) ). It's
a bit better this way: touch range spells require you to "lay on hands"
on the target, to really touch him/her/it with any part of your body (he
he he :) ).
LOS spells require you to be seeing your target with your eyes
-- other spells and cameras won't work, but optical binoculars and
cybereyes will. You can also cast them by touching the target, but you
don't need to do it (and considering the nature of most LOS spells, it's
safer to cast them from a distance).

Ritual sorcery can ignore all this, as long as you have
something that belonged to the target.
