No, it means that while your relationship to your clan is still up there at 17, the *dramatically* important skills are those that make you different from the herd, not those that make you the same as everyone else. "Same as everybody else" = "loser", in Glorantha as much as in the real world.

If you want to use your 100 words on repeating bits of your keywords in slightly different ways so as to generate augments, there's nothing to stop you. Just don't expect anyone to remember your name when you're alive, never mind when you're dead.
