Whereas even somebody Incompetent in Lockpicking (extra -4 on default : IQ-9) with an IQ of 14 would have the same effective skill... and IQ 15/16 would be better.

It would seem strange that the "incompetent genius" lockpicker would be better in every scenario EXCEPT for when using it in combination with Warp...

Which is why it seems better to treat "doesn't know" as "no default whatsoever" situations, like being Low TL relative to the lock.
