I still think the matter is simple. The limiter is not to prevent people fighting others, whether legally (as in a trooper) or unfairly (as in Doran's nasty ways with women). Gan bends and mangles plenty of enemies with no problem. It's to stop them *killing*.
The limiter was used on people who killed. There's nothing in Moloch to suggest that Doran was convicted of murder. Gan was.
