I agree but, the problem is that people will always just go for the most general skills. We tackled that problem in previous discussions by suggesting you shouldn't be able to raise (cheaply) a skill you used in an episode if you used it with improvisation. If you go for that extension, then it makes sense to create the new skill so that you can use it without improvisation and hence increase it quickly.
