**Ryan and Admin are describing his ability inheritance as only meaning he inherited his father's genes for the ability. They disagree with saying that to inherit an ability from someone means that someone must also have the ability. I disagree with them, but Admin runs the site so he has final say.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 16:39, 20 December 2008 (EST) |

*** No, I'm not describing his ability inheritance as only meaning he inherited his father's genes for the ability. I'm saying we don't know. I don't disagree with saying that to inherit an ability from someone means that someone must also have the ability. I'm saying we don't know. I'm saying that there's reasonable doubt. "Inherited" can mean that he inherited the genetic makeup to develop an ability, or that he received the same ability as his father. However, calling Edward's ability "accelerated probability" with a couple of side effects may be speculative. Calling Edward's ability "Edward's ability" is not speculative. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:46, 20 December 2008 (EST) |

**** Ok, add "potentially" before "only meaning" to my previous statement. That's still where we disagree.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 17:04, 20 December 2008 (EST) |

Why was it changed to Edward's ability?
- The serious looking women said that Santiago has the same ability that his father Cj31094 15:58, 20 December 2008
- No. She said that Santiago inherited his ability from his father. Ultimately we don't know enough about Edward's ability to say what it is. See Talk:Edward#Edward's ability. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
