On some level, I do agree with whswhs. But there are also a bunch of things that start at skill+0 and can be raised from there.
Maybe several different variants of related Techniques.
I must be missing something because it seems like strict downside. If you fail the observer can figure out your reactions. If you succeed instead of getting to dictate how you are representing yourself as reacting you have to show that you are screening your reactions which seems to be nearly always inferior. I don't think it should have any effect on subsections of a statement, after all your pokerface could potentially break down in any subsection.
