Of course, that result doesn't mean the mook just sliced straight through the armor plate. It just meant that he damaged a target wearing armor.
If realistically, you couldn't damage a target wearing armor, it would have been far more popular even that it was historically (expense be damned), and degree of armor would have been the sole deciding factor in all but a few exceptional ancient battles, noted by historians precisely as such odd exceptions. That didn't happen. Therefore, armored people are not de facto invulnerable.
Also kind of odd to assign 15 ST to just any old mook, but that's another question :)
