I'm not sure I'm parsing this right. Is she picking up the fact that Taylor is no longer nearsighted from skin cells? Or just in the fact that she's not wearing glasses? Because it's semi-recently come to light that myopia development has a huge environmental component rather than being purely genetic. And if Taylor isn't wearing glasses, the default assumption would be 'she got contacts.'I guess there are a few decent people left in this town. Amy thought as she finished changing, then stopped as she was pulling the t-shirt on, idly noting some of the information her power picked up off some random dead skin cells. Hang on a second...Wasn't Taylor nearsighted?
EDIT:
1) Not achievable on the scale necessary to do that.Hmm... that could be remedied - basically, widening the Panama Canal enormously - but how would one go about evacuating all the people who live there?
2) The Panama Canal is not a ditch that connects the two oceans. It's a canal, meaning it has multiple gates and locks to raise and lower water levels within it so you can transport the boats from sea level up 26 meters to the canal, and then back down again on the other side.
