Default Re: Question about Raising a Skill from Default

This is how 3rd ed was, and I believe 4th says this as well.
Yes I understand all that. But like I was saying, if you put a point in it to get it from default does it still count as a default?

Body Sense defaults to Acrobatics at -3
Acrobatics defaults to Erotic Art at -5
And Erotic Art would be the main skill

So it would look like Erotic Art (A) DX+5 [20]-20
Acrobatics (H) DX-2 [1]-15 (raised from Erotic Art default)
Body Sense (H) DX-2 [1]-12 (raised from Acrobatics Default)

Hmmm.

I'm just trying to answer a question a player had that I didnt have a satisfactory answer for, and of course the Game had to be today.

Thanks everyone by the way.
