You've clearly never seen me throw my MacBook. :)
Seriously though, I agree with this wholeheartedly.
I would say, in the case of our lumberjack, while you wouldn't give him heavy Axe
combat skills, some points in Striking ST might make sense. I don't think a Woodman would be particularly accurate (how hard is it to sneak up on a tree?), but I think he'd have a pretty solid strike.
Of course, it also depends on your setting. In a DF world, Woodcutters(Lumberjacks) may have had to defend themselves using their axes, against dangerous creatures in the woods. In a more realistic/civilized area/setting, this is less likely.
