Let me rephrase;
You need one net hit to open a door with Puppeteer....

The point was that there matrix actions that are free matrix actions, not that puppeteer have an extra high fade value (but you can for example thread it at level 1 and push the limit with edge to mitigate that).

Question:  Puppeteer states that it can be used to force a device to perform one Matrix Action.  Opening a door is not a matrix action but rather the result of either the Control Device matrix action or the Spoof Command matrix action.  So how would this work?

You use Puppeteer on the lock that's preventing you from opening the door physically?

Wouldn't that be the same as opening the door?

Concepts are great, but implementation sucks. Why not improve it?

Subtle difference. One is electronically disengaging a lock through the matrix, the other is physically opening a door which may or may not have a form of automatic mechanism to do so.

Depends on how nitpicky you want to get for "I open the door through the Matrix", I guess.
