The problem for many enthusiasts (such, I confess, as myself), including GURPS book authors, is that the distinctions and features that one cares about in ones profession or hobby are, in a dispassionate appreciation, quite a bit less significant than +1 on a 3d6 under/over or typical GURPS damage roll. A lot of GURPS' forbidding mass is an accumulation of enthusiasts' darlings that ought to have been ruthlessly rounded off.
