That's a good analysis of the Cannon vs. Dev dynamic.

Mostly something to watch out for in case anyone attempts a computer implementation

I've been thinking for a little while about how it'd be kind of nice to have some way of indicating a piece's increased size on an Interactive Diagram. I can think of two or three ways it might be doable, but with no more than maybe a half-dozen games on this entire site using such pieces, I doubt it'd be worth the effort (unless the new coding is no more than, say, 15-20 lines).
