Yeah, I posted your theory on another board, Doomgaze. The counterpoint to that arguement is that it's because Miang is a noncombatant in most of the battles she's in with you, and I guess the party doesn't know that she's actually quite capable of defending herself.

It would be wrong of Ramsus to attack Margie, but would it be wrong of Bart to attack Miang, I wonder?
