That sort of scaling issue is always important to a design: to what extent can a character exceed the norm? It's about differences of degree vs differences of kind. In some (probably most) games everyone's operating on the same scale, but some can achieve more and be more reliable. In others, eg supers, characters can be on a whole other scale and do stuff that normal folks never could.

So yeah, your analysis tells us that TSOY should always be rooted in what it is to be human.
