I just had a go-around about this with Roderick and Robin. The points they made were that yes, there is a skewing in the marginal victories, but this was considered acceptable for the purposes of keeping it simple.
What I've also realized is that trying to do it any other way breaks too many other parts of the process. Simple group contests work this way (with failures and fumbles adding 3 or 6 to the best rolls). It also softens the effect of bumps. Most of the time, a natural success will be better than a bumped success; this makes sense.
This bothered me at first, but I've decided that it's not so bad. In the demo game I ran last night, no one complained.

No, I don't hear voices in my head;
