Default Re: What are some GURPS rules you didn't know or understand for a long time?

If you put 1 point into B, your level in it does not rise, but you now know that skill, and you have a default in skill C.

Thanks to Kromm for making this clear, a few years ago.
I think that's actually exactly what I was talking about in my first post.
