        The door might not be, but what about the person? Pretty sure most adults are more than 7" thick from sternum to spine. If you’re back is only moving 7" forward you’re going to end up in the door.

        They aren’t, but your body is. If you move just 7 inches forward, part of your body might merge with the door.

        This is Nightcrawler’s worse nightmare, BTW.

        But people are more than 7" thick. It depends on how you interpret it I guess, I read it as moving 7" in any direction which means you’ll still overlap with your own body, but if you read it as there being a 7" gap between where you were and where you are now then it would work.

        But people are. Even if the door is the thickness of paper, if you teleport 7in through it then youre still telefragged
