Note, my advice was not just to exclude it from the formula, but from the skill 'level' consideration, adding in only at the skill usage point...
But that's probably just more steps than anyone but me finds useful. But as that is how Talents are meant to be used*, it's why I suggested it.
IE, if you have a Talent that adds to Sumo Wrestling, it isn't counted towards whether you've hit DX+1 or not. And technically "adding after skill level calculations"is backwards, but some of my Players couldn't wrap their heads intuitively around "adds to Stat before skill" so I swapped it to "adds at the end as a bonus", since everyone at my table grasps that at an instinctive level.
