Well, will you accept the "close, but not the same" answer of "when that makes sense for that hero's schtick"?
If you have movement magic, than putting it against a horse in a race seems to make perfect sense.
If you're playing a special forces game and you have Fast 17, I doubt anyone would think it makes sense that this means you can outrun a car. (Although you could end up in a challenge with a car that would make sense.)

I don't agree with that.
It depends on your credible magic. If you don't have magic to raise a
moon, then trying to do it fails a credibility test.
