It would be completely wrong to say that as standards advance, skills increase. For fixed years of study, skill levels are fixed as well. What changes are the bonuses for developments in the field and, ultimately, the TL.
But the pre-post (US term) GP-era difference is, explicitly, a difference in years of study (years of residency). If I am reading you right, pre-post (US term) GP-era doctors should have different skill levels.....
