Yes. ATR is a building block for concepts, but not a complete standalone "power". As such, it's particularly futile to try to play the "what can I 'logically' do with my power" extrapolation to munchkinize it, but instead it's a good candidate for the "just what the mechanics say" mindset.

ATR should probably just be called "Extra Maneuver". It's not "the speedster power", but only part of that package.
