I never said that Ed or Al wouldn't be able to do what Mustang does, and in fact he probably can. But that's not the kind of thing you even want to try the first time without some instructions to go by or an experienced guide. I imagine the popular theory explaining the scars on Riza's back is that it was to hide the secret to Flame Alchemy from being passed on. But it could also be a leftover from one or two of his less fortuitous training sessions, and might explain why he only uses a much simpler version of the array...
Besides, when has Ed had the time to even try to practice such a thing?
BTW, zebra, please edit your previous post to remove my manga spoiler from the quote.
