I moved the table a bit because I didn't like that 14-16 were on the same level, so for me 14-15 can be considered "Exceptional (the most seasoned of ordinary folks)" and 16-17 would be "Heroic (extraordinary world-class experts)". I then added the following 18-19 "Larger-than-Normal (top experts from all of the world)" and 20-21 "Larger-than-Life (top experts from all of history)".

I chose the value of 17 not only because it coincides with the one assigned in the "Spec Ops" book for the Delta Force, but also because it is the level at which professional competence is acquired to perform the following combination without resorting to Accuracy: "Effective Skill = 17 + Target Attack (Gun/Skull)-3 + Quick-Shot (Gun)+0 + Speed/Range (5 yards)-2 = 12".
