    Most doors and fences are, in fact, less than 7 inches thick. You probably couldn’t get into a vault, but simple B&E would be trivial.

      Yes, but how thick are you? If you are 7.1 inches thick, your back will move forward into the thing you’re trying to avoid.

        Ah, I figured it was measuring front to back, not center to center. I’d say they’re both valid interpretations.

      It matters what the definition of you is. If it is the most abstract form of you then your thoughts are everywhere you deem them and the 7 inch rule is nullified and you can be transported anywhere.
