According to the info on this very site, that is rational thinking. The mind doesn't have limits. And these powers come from the mind. Ergo, these powers don't have limits. Who says the most you can move is a book? Who says it would take hundreds of years to get so good at this? What proof do they have? Did they live hundreds of years and then turn around and say "Yep, this is how long it takes."?

This isn't something that can be wholly proven or disproven, it has to happen to you for you to know you can do it. You can believe or not everything and anything you want, but Nitsu has a point. By saying you can't do something or all you can do is this, you're setting yourself a limit. And you're setting a limit for everyone who takes those words as law because you have a position of power here or you've been here so much longer than them.

The last thing i want to do is fight about a subjective topic, but this is rational. Again, taking from this site, reality is something you perceive. By altering your perception, you can alter your reality and bend it to your liking. So even if a book is your limit in your reality, perhaps Nitsu's reality has no limits. Maybe All one's reality holds a more faithful perception than yours. Maybe my reality believes that the main reason I, like many people, can't do much or have a hard time doing certain things is because I used to think like you. That there were limits and impossibilities.

People come here to learn. You can't tell them one thing, claim it's true and accurate, have a whole community of like minded people not change the article, and then outright tell them they can't do it or it would take hundreds of years which is basically the same thing. There's a reason this all even exists in the first place. That reason is because these things have happened to enough people that it got interesting and people wanted to learn how to do it. You can't just go around saying there are limits to what you can do with a limitless ability which is, at its most basic roots, the power to effect matter, which is energy, with energy created and controlled by the mind. How rational is that line of thinking?
