I thought it's two separate issue - people are just asking if Camille
and Judo can "talk" to other people via just NT power. All those stuff from
Zeta and ZZ can pretty much attribute to bio-sensor...

Are you sure that you don't confuse being the "best" Newtype pilot or
just plain "best" Newtype? Ever since the first series, it has been pretty
evident that Amuro's NT power is weaker than the next "generation" NT. I
truly believe there are a few class of Newtypes - The first type is people
like Quess and Lalah, who has really high Newtype potential, but generally
not very good at piloting. The second type is Camille and Judo, who have
"higher" NT power than others, but still have the piloting skill to "duke it
out" with other ace pilots without much NT aid. The third type is Amuro and
Char, who has "weaker" NT power than the second type, but have much better
piloting skill. The last type is Fa and Katsu, who can barely use their NT
powers, although they still can learn to pilot a MS much quicker than normal
pilots...
