Yes, he did. Many of the GURPS authors participate in these forums.

Reseach, Merchant, Riding, Hiking, Tactics, Streetwise, Brawling/Boxing/Judo/Karate... A point to start for buy in and if the GM rolls in that direction buy more as needed.

'I am a Merchant prince and am looking at cornering the silver market. Well historically what happens when silver prices start climbing precipitously? Lemme go to the library and find out.' 'I am a General. I have been handed a grab bag of forces. Everything I can think of says I lose. I do not have an idea. I need an outside of the box way to try and skin this small feline. Lemme go read up on prior Military Geniuses from Alexander to Rommel. If I can't think of a good idea, theft of a good idea is almost as good.' 'I am a Mage. I want to break the laws of Physics/Biology/Grammar/Parking. I need to know the laws better before I figure out how. Lemme...' Research CAN be very flexible. It can show the character putting work into an idea and gives the GM a chance (on a good roll) to point out flaws/problems that are about to bite the PC in the hindend. The usual limiters are having a large library in proximity and having enough lead time before the task must be executed. It is enough to put it on the sheet for me (unless it violates the character concept). Now whether it survives the brutal 'I do not have enough points in the budget. Something has to go!' that takes up 50-95% of the character build process for me at least...that is another thing. But it usually at least gets consideration.

However my preference and default assumptions are based on Sword + Sorcery genre. Tech tending to top out early renaissance, magic somewhat less than the DnD assumption (at least 2E/Ad+d years last time Ive really looked at those rules), a decent amount of rules crunch but not to the levels that Rule...pardon me Rolemaster can get to. Yes as tech goes up Research the skill gets more powerful and easier and thus I tend to give it even more consideration. There are some limitations to Research in a pre-printing press world...but often still a worthwhile skill.
