I use the same rule in my own campaigns (free change of description when the rank number don't correspond anymore to the rank number.
I was just trying to find the flaws in the "narrative point of view".

would happily allow the "amateur swordsman" to be migrated into
"competent swordsman" or "professional swordsman" with the application
of HP. It is more difficult to have the level of competence spelt out

That's fun, if the rank number describes the power...
