Defaults; how do they work

The related issue of familiarity is another way that point adds value without raising skill level directly.
It may be *possible* to gain familiarity with weapons known at default skill level, but it wouldn't be the case by default. So again, the two points I made stand.

Your statement that I added the familiarity point after being 'defeated' on the value of the single point- again just bizarre. Try re reading.

I'm sorry; I misread attributions and thought that you stated something you didn't.
