Apparently this is the explanation behind the bizarre “Peter can’t fly himself to safety” aspect of the Heroes season finale.

Listen, Tim: “Suspension of disbelief” is when we accept that there are people with genetic mutations that allow them to pass through walls and shoot radioactive fire from their hands. It is not when you cheat and change the rules you made up because you want something to happen that isn’t necessary to your show’s internal logic.

Stupid.
