@1, "UI Aphorism 32.2" does not promise if you're tall enough you won't get punched in the head - just that if you're tall enough (or Spartan/shark enough) you won't fear it.
So platforms would definitely free you from fear, and that's the main thing, isn't it?
Wow, the Stranger’s dream city has come full circle, where pychos, drunks, illegals, knife and hatchet carrying bums (sorry,....’artists’) roam free. Enjoy!
Besides just being tall, or Spartan, or sharklike, the key to avoiding the wrath of the predator is to not look like a victim. A smaller dude who walks with authority is much less likely to be a target than a taller dude who hunches over and looks like he's waiting to get hit. again.
Although speaking as a six foot five Spartan shark, all this is purely academic.

Not that I'm complaining: What I wouldn't give to be able to go play pool at Squid Row again, or show up for dynasty night at the old RPlace,
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go polish my GAR medals......
