IMO this is like those discussions where someone says FTL communication is possible by using a very long solid rod, jiggling one and and monitoring the other... except on closer inspection it'll only work if the rod is infinitely rigid, which is already a violation of many of the same underlying physical laws.

So it's a kind of circular logic, or at best an observation that having one kind of supernatural magic power would let you cause another kind of supernatural magic outcome.

In this case, if only I had a time machine I could break the speed of light. (Or possibly vice-versa.)
