I'm not trying to be antagonistic, I'm just very difficult to convince.
Unless you have evidence that forever ends all debate on this issue, I still
believe that Amuro and Char are pretty strong in this area as well. Right
now, most of what you've quoted is STILL subject to some degree of
interpretation.
Remember, I'm not trying to get on your nerves here. ^_^ I'm just like that.
Every ML I go to, I tend to disagree wildly with the majority of the opinions.

Agreed. I think we both agree here.

I think you misunderstand me...I consider funnels and psychic sense to be
linked. If you're using one, you're using the other. So whether he was using
the funnels or his sense to locate the nuclear ones is a moot point - he had
to be using both.
