Minor Venusian Aikido Change (Doctor Who)

Venusian Aikido implements pressure points, as shown in this scene and many other instances of the Doctor using the martial art. It's pretty obvious it's pressure points as well, since Epzo is able to move after the 13th incarnation moves her finger away from him. I suggest replacing this ability with Pressure Points.

However, the Doctor can inflict genuine paralysis with this martial art. He states so in Inferno after using venusian aikido against Stahlman.

(Stahlman raises the stick to hit the Doctor.)
DOCTOR: Ai tavich!
The Doctor jabs his thumb in the region of Stahlman's collar bone. Stahlman drops the stick.)
BRIGADIER: Doctor! What on earth do you think you're doing?

DOCTOR: Venusian karate. It's very effective. Hold it long enough and the subject remains permanently paralysed.

So Paralysis Inducement can stay, just with a different scan and explanation.

About to apply the changes. Should I add references as well considering the new standards? I feel like they'd look out of place.
