Re: Make contact skill great again.
Bill has been one of our authors for nearly two decades and has written quite widely for the two most recent editions of GURPS. If he is telling you that a rule doesn't work the way you believe it should, I recommend that you listen to him. You are welcome to make a house ruling to make the rules work the way you would prefer, of course.
On a broader note:
The level of aggression by several posters in this and some other recent threads is unpleasant, unwarranted, and unwelcome. The Ignore List is there for a reason -- if you find yourself fed up with someone's posts, use it before you get baited into an infraction or a ban. We do not countenance "but they were being a jerk first" as a defense to your own poor actions. Everyone here is an adult and is expected to behave civilly, and we are ready to sanction those who fall short of that standard.
