A superficial injury puts me at a disadvantage: I won't be able to attack as effectively with that arm; The numbness in my leg makes it harder for me to move around, etc. All of which are adequately represented by AP loss, since the lost APs make me easier to defeat.
A wound that rendered my arm useless or imobilised me thus preventing me from using apropriate abilities is definitely not superficial, it's crippling (literaly).
