Observation: I've found that the shock absorption seems to do little against blaster fire, other than cauterizing and preventing itself from spilling out onto the pavement. But, more often than not, it's much too late to do the meatbag any good.

Objection: There's quite a bit that I am capable of that the average brain is not. As an example, meatbags can be rather forgetful even without any damage or modification.
