My point was that, allowing that Hacker can be duplicated as per the Copycat 
rules (as well as presumably Detect Lies and Night Vision), the Premonition 
ability of Timetripper was even more nebulous than those. With Night Vision 
you can see somebody use it, then move around in the dark (assuming you can 
see them - another odd little quirk of the Sneak packet vis a vis Copycat). 
With Hacker you see them typing away at a keyboard and being successful at 
penetrating security.

With Premonition you see the character think about something and decide on a 
course of action. In a sense he's altering time in a way only he can 
perceive, just as with the main rewind part of the package. And thus would 
apparently be similarly immune to Copycating on the Premonition part as on 
the Rewind part.

Hope that clarifies things.
