More accurately, it's about offering a fair balance to
both those targets, I'd say. If it was simply about game utility Guns would be at least as difficult a skill as Bow — not easier!
Hence the suggestion that, in a game where Surgery needs a more-detailed treatment, one can
require Surgery take an optional specialisation — while pointing out that even making it mandatory, it should still receive the
benefits of an optional specialisation. This lets people who need more realism stay compatible with those who need more game utility, and everybody* is happy!
