Yup this is absolutely true. The best pilots are the only ones that can make
the most out of very hot ships. If it doesn't satisfy, changing to an
"amplified by" relationship (which is I think what Toph was guessing it was)
will at least give him a little edge and tell a different story. Being as
that's the way it is in my head (and not in the book) that's probably errata
we should consider.
