[Psionic Powers] Do inanimate targets resist Malediction with HT or Will?

We're talking about the Psionic Powers rules, which makes this option (that targets lacking Will resist with HT instead) the default for Psi. So the assumption is that it's not ignorable, or at least not intended to be (but of course a GM can do as they like.) I'm considering other options, such as a limitation that lets the target resist with the better of Will or HT (on the justification that the power causes a physical effect, but it can be interfered with mentally as well.) This avoids cases where, in the Psi Powers rule, you'd have a target with, say, a -180 cp disadvantage (IQ 1) suffer more than a target with a -200 cp disadvantage (IQ 0). That it also gives an advantage to a target with higher HT than Will is, I think, a beneficial side effect.
