One way I've gotten around that bit of rules-weird is suggesting that when you can pick up a tank with your TK, it's probably because that's its optimum scale. You try and pick up a person, and you're more likely to just squash the guy like a grape. Or compare picking up a football with picking up a single grain of sand with your fingertips. The sand is clearly lighter, but the scale is wrong.
