Because that's what you're doing - neutering a core game mechanic.
Mainly because if you ditch the check digit you have to visit every other rule in the book to remove the CD from determining song effects, damage, resonance rolls, etc etc etc and I am not looking to do a complete re-write - I would prefer to run games than re-write.

Having two children, one with a disability, hits my prep time and thinking up 24 levels of resonance hit for every NPC would just suck the fun out of GMing (I don't run a number of systems now compared to my younger days due to prep time issues).

Using the method above I 'only' need to come up with 8 resonance pings for each NPC and give a minutes thought on the scope for 3 -4 levels (bearing in mind the ramp up in detail and scope as you go up the Resonance CD results)
