Meh... Backstory be damned. It's a game and we can bend the heck out of the backstory for the purposes of fun gameplay. CCP could change it so the 'warp bubble' is actually created by whipping all the invisible space herpies into a frenzy so they carry your ship 'really fast'.
Anyway, much of EVE's game time is wasted in warp. I've often thought that it is the one feature that needs a bit more to it. Why can't we nudge our warp tunnel, warp drives, space herpies, whatever towards a different destination while we're in warp. etc.
So yeah. I'm with the OP. Hey CCP, why not?

Let's leave the space herpes out of it, eh?
No I didn't mean herpes. That's gross. I meant herpies. They're mucus filled creatures resembling scabby harpies. That is, if you could see them. You can usually detect them by the heavy smell of cheap perfume, generally found in the vicinity of space station docks.
SpAcE HeRpIeS!!! 
Don't **** em off, man... Or you won't be able to go 'really fast' speed.

I say again... SpAcE HeRpIeS!!!
Of course my point is that we shouldn't sacrifice fun game play for the sake of ultra-realistic explanations as to what physics might allow. And the stupid space herpe thing was just taking it to the opposite extreme. Sure, we shouldn't bank shots off of planets or play pool with the solar system (red planet, corner pocket), but the science behind the game should be secondary to fun.
And you just can't get around the fact time spent in warp is pretty dull. In fact, besides a gang warp there really isn't much player to player interaction at all.
So... why not? And the answer to that question shouldn't be answered with physics text books.

I'm all for pew pew in warp. It means more than delicious hauler ganks it means that the warp speed enhancing rigs will become even more useful. It means 2 anti pirates in ceptors could cut me to pieces when I think I'm safe in my warp tunnel.
It means warping away dosen't guarantee your safety anymore
Exactly! And it could offer other posibilities for pilot skill if one could actually do some piloting once in warp. Imagine warping off towards a gate and then modifying your course once you're going to throw chasers off your tail. Or being able to interupt your own warp midway.
It's one of those things that CCP would have to be very careful with. Much of the game is has been balanced around that break point. But quite a bit of the time spent in game is spent in warp. And to draw a parallel with radio, as far as game play goes its sort of "dead air". I don't play EVE because of the fun I have while in warp.
Anyway, I think I've flogged this particular topic enough.
