Default Sense-Based and Sense-Based (Reversed)

Rules as written and canonically speaking, would it be required to combine both Vision-Based (p. B106) and Vision-Based (Reversed) (Powers, p. 105) if the trait requires that the attacker see the victim AND the victim see the attacker? Is this not necessary? Is this not allowed?

It's permissible to "reverse" Sense-Based to create an ability that works through the [attacker's] senses. To affect [the] target, [the attacker] must see it with unaided eyes (Vision-Based) . . .
For Vision-Based, the victim must see the attacker. For Vision-Based (Reversed), the attacker must see the victim.

I don't think those two things are mutually exclusive. For example, Reversed works against a blind victim, but the attacker can't be blind.

Rules quotes and page references appreciated.

Thanks!
