Which would give strange result when you increase the primary skill level, as previously valid dabbler level would get useless.

Assuming per 10

survival(land B) [default from per] - 5
survival(land B) [dabbler +1 from per default] - 6
survival(land B) [dabbler +2 from per default] - 7
survival(land B) [dabbler +3 from per default] - 8
survival(land B) [1] - 9


survival(land A) [1] - 9
survival(land B) [default from land A] - 6
survival(land B) [dabbler +1 from land A default] - 7
survival(land B) [dabbler +2 from land A default] - 8
survival(land B) [1] - 9

survival(land A) [2] - 10
survival(land B) [default from land A] - 7
survival(land B) [dabbler +1 from land A default] - 8
survival(land B) [1] - 9

survival(land A) [4] - 11
survival(land B) [default from land A] - 8
survival(land B) [1] - 9

There is also the matter of skill without attribute default, that cannot benefit from dabbler normally.
Engineer for example.
That's a fair point, though I personally would be willing to allow a character to reshuffle points within Dabbler (only in the same skills, though) if they bought actual points in it (or in this case if a skill became invalid), and eventually convert it into a skill point if they improved all of them.
