<I don't give a darn what the real world abilities of a falcon, <monkey or

Like most of the times, i found Roderick´s answer very convincing,except one more question, that i have:
If any ability says, how good you are at something and thus "Run Fast" shows how good you are at running and that in consequence has some kind of "realworldspeed"BUT we don´t care about, in the game(for instance because it would gaming too complicate,which i think is a good argument)-then still a cheetah with a rating of "RunFast12" must be quite lame ,right?! So any "respectable"cheetah should have a much higher rating(if we assume that they CAN run 114kmh in our gameworld),right?!
Also i wonder how being Large can be called an ability of: how good i´m, at being large.....Does that mean Large is an ability how good you can use your large in opposition to BEING large.Ability versus capability?
