The plausible range of stats would be larger if the cost curve for skills was different.
And IQ 12 with 8 points has skill 14, but IQ 10 with 16 points has skill 14. That's only 2:1. If you go to skill 16, it's 16 vs. 24, which is only 3:2. Push it up to skill 20, and it's 32 vs. 40, which is 5:4. As you increase skill level, the ratio looks to go to 1 as a limit. Doing a ratio at only one point on a curve doesn't produce meaningful results.
