Exactly. I'm a literalist in terms of effect, and I don't care about description. You have Warp, so you want to say that all your Dodges involve teleporting a few inches out of the way of the attack, even when you're not using the Warp advantage for the active defense? Fine by me. But as soon as you say something like "well, why am I suffering the uneven footing penalty if I'm not using my feet to avoid the attack?" I'm going to say "that's real cute, it is. Now roll your penalized Dodge, activate Warp as an active defense, or do something else that's supported by rules."
