So the ST 11 folks would make (or have made) the shortswords and spears that they were able to use. The ST 13 folks would make the bastard swords and halberds. This is quite logical.

I think the rules are there to simulate what happens when a ST 9 figure picks up a weapon made for a ST 11 (12, 13, whatever) when nothing else is available and they don't want to simply punch.
