[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5359436, member: 19675"] Which is why if accused of cheating, I, at least, would [I]insist[/I] on being given a chance to prove I'm not a cheat. And parents who believe in their kid's [I]honesty[/I] would ask for the same (especially parents who are living as not just zebras, but winged zebracorns). A pop quiz covering math the teacher had and had not taught would be a pretty good indicator- barring continued idiocy over "attention-focusing" drugs- that he's not cheating. It seems we have a failure to communicate. Rüdiger's case of incredible transformation within what was seemingly an impossible timespan is a documented RW fact (one which I suggested may be an inspiration for the son's character). This being so, his abilities are far more within the realm of possibilities than anyone else in the family, and if tested, would more likely be seen as the latest example of redefining what is possible for humanity at the upper extreme of the bell curve. IOW, unlike the rest of his family, if the full extent of his abilities WERE revealed, he'd more likely be compared to people like Rüdiger or Tannet than his Mom to Usain Bolt, his Dad to Mark Henry, and his sister to anything but "a freak.". This is because we have exemplars who seem to be able to do similar feats to what he does; nobody on Earth runs 40mph, much less 400mph+; nobody jumps for miles; nobody reads minds (sis would definitely be able to claim the Randi Prize).
