The Weapon Table entries explicitly list the allowed skills. Unless you can come up with a concrete reason to exclude them, it seems that they are "like" the examples he listed, in that they are an "explicit list of allowed skills."

I've already spoken to all those points, but you don't seem to read my remarks or acknowledge their content.

So, just to let you know, I won't be reading or replying to your comments on this subject further.

You don't, though. You assert that it's one way because you assert it. You have yet to provide one concrete reason why that assertion should be. You've merely asserted that it's your own belief that because Kromm quoted from one type of rule that means that he meant to exclude other types of rules.

You provide no reason why Kromm would have meant for the list to be exclusive and not inclusive of other types of listings. You merely assert that he didn't intend for it to be extrapolated and then the rest of your argument from there forward has rested on your assertion that Kromm meant something that he did not say.

That's fine. You're still wrong.

Closing thread and have asked the GURPS forum mods to take a look, because it has been reported multiple times.
