I think "DX is really ST"-type arguments would hold more water if DX was just speed. But DX isn't just speed. It's very specifically also flexibility, balance, fine motor skills, and lots of other things that are more about joints, the inner ear, nerves, and the brain than anything to do with muscles or how swiftly you move. In fact, outside of combat and vehicle skills, there isn't even much of a speed aspect to what DX covers . . .

I do think that "DX is really ST" makes sense for active defenses, though. The essence of avoiding harm isn't "being really precise" but "jerking large chunks of your ponderous self around forcefully enough that they avoid or intercept an attack vector over which you have zero control."
