Yes, that was the entire point of the original question refered to. When your PC is very badly injured, at -10 to all actions or even worse, can they still do normal actions like standing up and walking without a roll? Probably not. So what's the skill that you're subtracting 10 from?
The number is a "usually an automatic success", which isn't quite the same.
