Curious, why 13 instead of 12 on base abilities?

Most of the changes from HW to HQ are pretty easy to figure out the motivation for.

But the change of default, just purchased, ability level from 12 to 13 I have to admit I'm curious about. Can anyone in the know satisfy my intelectual curiousity on the subject?
