Peter got his abilities faster by being close to others, it makes perfect sense that the closer he gets, the faster he learns, otherwise he would know all abilities, plus i'm fairly sure that we've seen the distance thing in action.
Now touch would be way more powerful, you are afterall directly at the source.
Then explain DL? He wasn't anywhere near him! Peter was off fighting Sylar while DL went into the building to kill Lindermann. They didn't even meet each other, let alone see DLs power. And yet Peter could ranomly be able to conjure up walking through walls. Proximity means nothing, he's always been able to pick up peoples powers from a long distance.
Frankly if touch had anything to do with his powers it would of been shown long before now. If they do now add it in, I will see it more as a ret-con than what it originally worked as.
