Enhanced Senses

[acowie]

I'm sure it's been done, but I couldn't find it on a search.
What exactly is the benefit of "Ranged" as an adder to a Sense?
ie - Spatial Awareness seems to be a nonranged Detect, as are most of the other senses given. They are described as allowing you to "sense your surroundings".
But for the Detect Magic example "Ranged" is added to allow him to sense magic without touching them.
Surely as written Spatial Awareness [Detect Physical Objects, Targeting, Sense (passive)] is better known as "Touch" in human beings?

As the text on 5E describes, Range allows a sense to work at range; I'm not sure how else to explain it other than the way the book does. Similarly, I think the text makes clear the differences between Spatial Awareness and Touch; among other things, Touch isn't a Targeting Sense.
