I have to say I definitely disagree with you. This really has nothing to do with Glorantha, it's entirely a matter of the required level of clarity of the Hero Wars rules. Not what the Feats mean, but how well and precisely they are to be defined. Not, in other words, a matter of accuracy to Gloranthan history and mythology (GD territory), but a matter of 'can we honestly say new players, totally unfamiliar with Glorantha, can play these feats without confusion, and without major conflicts with future products resulting from differing interpretations?'. I think the clarity level is just below the realistic limit at present, a few re-worded feats would bring it above (good old 'Sunset Leap', 'Snarl Darkness' and a few others).
