Another person says I'm not allowed to siphon speed because too many physical factors make up how "fast" you are. Is that so? What physical factors are there in place that make Ruby able to zip around faster than sight? Is she incredibly strong or something and I'm just unable to see her huge muscles? Ruby's semblance, while named as speed, is more like a sudden boost in momentum, a sort of springboard effect.

The aural speed boost is not a boost to speed itself, you are physically more powerful and thus can run faster. simple as that, not an increase to speed itself but of your ability to gain speed. Which is different, how? Her aura is granting her the ability to move incredibly fast. Regardless of how she accomplishes this, why is my Semblance not plausible while that one is, when mine isn't a sudden gigantic burst of speed, it's a slow siphon over time?
