I mean there's certainly nothing wrong with thinking that, and for all we know it may even turn out to be true. For the pages though I mostly only go off things that I already know for certain.

The issue with that is that I don't really know how we'd even go about quantifying the limitation into a non-game mechanic-esque thing. I don't remember any apparent reason behind it being given from a story/in-verse/etc standpoint, just the inferred "It exists so players will strategize more."
