Not sure whether you're joking or not. You probably are 'cause you're awesome, but I want to explain this anyway so I might as well.

Blink works by accelerating Corvo to incredibly high speeds, giving the impression of teleportation. In contrast, Transversals actually teleport the user to a destination.

So an Assassin would easily be able to bypass Walls of Light, while Corvo is vaporized if he tries to Blink through them.

It seems to me like they didn't think Transversals through very well when they were first making them, and to avoid making them insanely overpowered (and also really hard to implement properly) they're just backing up and saying "acccctuaaally, Daud DOES Blink!"
