I do not understand how the same person can have written both statements. They seem contradictory.

You have the option of saying Backstabbing never works in your game and you can just never roll for it. You seem to be describing a situation where you do allow a roll, but put the character on the map in plain sight (despite the backstab rule, and stealth in general, requiring they have to have been hidden).

BTW did you mean "logistical" or "logical"? If you truly meant "logistical" then you're addressing an argument no one on this thread has made, so maybe you just made a typo? No one said it was "logistically" difficult for backstabbing to alter gameworld terrain; but whenever there's a preexisting fictional context it isn't logical. (Yes, Serendipity deliberately breaks logic; that's why it costs 15 points and isn't allowed in all games.)

Not being able to alter the map is either because you are physically unable or a failure of imagination. "The map is not the territory".
