One thing I'd like to mention, as a rare visitor to the thread - unless I missed something, the single argument against MitD being able to move things without touching them stems from the "bucket of stew" scene, which happened three years ago. Now admittedly the Go comic was already a little wordy and would not have been greatly enhanced by a speech balloon asking O-Chul to place his piece(s) for him - or O-Chul's surprise that he doesn't seem to need to do just this - but isn't it somewhat possible that in the intervening three years, this was a power that he developed with age?
