Will there be a useful level of discussion on this topic? Or will we get more like the above?

Can someone explain to me what's wrong with Julian's concept of a table for adding ratings? (Or indeed one for converting abilities back to linear game-world quantities?) We're talking about one table (in either case), with no imposition of "logs" on the hapless maths-philistine, nor _any additional complication at all_ on people who find the current system hunky-dorey. (Except perhaps making some of the example wealth TNs less broken.) Additional, optional functionality for a modest amount of additional complexity, for the people that feel the lack.
