We already established the game allows for inspiring "allies".  The game doesn't distinguish between things like "Ally you know well" and "Ally you don't know so well," they're either an ally or not an ally.Third, as for doing it from across the room, this also doesn't seem an important factor - the trope is about speaking and the unconscious hearing you, so as long as you are close enough for them to hear you it should be fine, much like all inspiring seems capable of inspiring from some range that is not restricted to "touch".  If you don't want it to work that way, cool.  But, I think it's plenty on topic, and it moves the debate forward by establishing there is some level of acceptable logic behind inspiring/healing those who are unconscious using words.  Now people who argue they like that sort of thing have a pretty good response to "but it's not logical to use words to communicate with the unconscious" and the debate can move on to "OK you can communicate with the unconscious using words but I think it should/should not be able to heal them".</blockquote>
