Strange!
Why is this "rule of 14" not called "rule of 13" instead? This would avoid some confusion (which I did) and unify the rule of principle.
Thank you in advance for your comments.

There are a lot of these kinds of problems that are leftover from earlier editions of GURPS, when the rules far less unified than 4th edition. While I can't speak for the designers, I think it was just an oversight, but once the Basic Set was published, they were stuck with it. I've already made that change in my games, as I'm sure many players have.
