Oh that's absolutely fair enough, and if someone wanted to pay 30 points for this I likely just let them have those TA's for all melee skills and not worry about the specifics of weapon adaptation (although not sure I'd let it apply to all combat skills*)!
*edit: actually I might as you'd still need to buy all the different skills to make this that broadly worthwhile.

IME a lot of point on TA's leads to one trick ponies. Sometimes that trick works for them, and other times they find themselves in situation where they can't leverage it. So it's a gamble, but then fast specialism over slower general improvement always is.
