So you need a higher IQ to have more training. Q.E.D.
I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here. If you're trying to prove that the rule is as stated then that seems trivial. If you're trying to to prove the rule is desirable then this isn't the way to go about it. Maybe you had something else in mind.

I like the ability to make a distinction between a character who is smart enough to learn the most difficult spells, and a character who has picked up a lot of handy skills. In Classic TFT these are both just "high IQ". Legacy tried to fix it and I approve though I don't like how.

But I'd probably also like to make a distinction between someone who can be a dead shot with a crossbow vs someone who's great at dodging falling rocks vs someone who's potentially good at picking locks, and in TFT those are all just "high DX". It's a fact of life that if the system's simple it's going to have blind spots.
