I smell bullsh1t. I didn't argue that point for several pages. You kept focusing on it in no less than four separate posts with increasing arrogance. Let's not delude ourselves into thinking that didn't play out as horribly as it did for you. Yes, because even Batman can push his thoughts to J'onn like in Identity Crisis. That "mental arena" was not the Theta State. Your assumptions are atrocious. That kind of communication via mental projection happens all the time.
See how my original posts don't say it, and how easily I transitioned out of it on my own before you said anything and keeping the base of my argument in tact?
That's because it wasn't required, or based upon it.
Yours however is entirely based upon this as your primary means to discredit what was being presented instead of actually using evidence. It's not working. If you need to, look back at my original posts. They don't say anything about the physical aspect of it.
[though looking back through the issue, as you've asked, if you want to be pressing about it...when OMAC/Vienna entered the scene at the end of issue 7, she slapped aside Superman's mental projection of himself, physically.]
I corrected my own mistake, and the argument stood before and after it. With or without the term 'physical', it makes no difference.
Hulk showed Dr. Strange Caiera's death and tricked Dr. Strange by changing his appearance in World War Hulk. Cyclops has built rooms in mind. Even Daredevil subconsciously altered Mastermind's mental projections.
I haven't read these, I can't comment on them. Did Hulk drag Dr Strange into a mental arena and begin showing him all of this on his own power and volition?
Even if they happen "all the time", Superman has this ability in post-Crisis DC as a result of learning it.

It's not extrapolation to see him learn an ability, and then use the ability, and suggest it's the same.What is extrapolation however, is suggesting he lost the abilities, then gained a new one that is astonishingly similar, without a shred of evidence of either one.
