Because that's all that's on the table here.
I suppose my objection isn't about the two levels. two levels are fine. Its a bonus of plus six that I object to. and I'm not sure that four is good.

If you keep the technique properly limited I suppose it will work. I wonder if a flat limit of +2 is best or simply 'up to half of the penalty'.
