Yeah, that's probably generalized enough that it works, though I suppose it didn't really quite click for me at first because I was focusing on Robin's "ability to affect" as corresponding to the term "unique position", and I was instead thinking of "inability to perceive" -- but that's also a unique position, so I suppose the causal node version you mention covers that indeed. Thanks.
