Yes, but you are clever like that, albeit, ultimately, fallible ;-)

Much as I try, that multilegged party monster keeps coming back to terrorize us :)

Yes but, a very simple example, which I posted here before... Two players, Paul and Bryan, post successive, great actions involving a giant. Normally I'd be looking for a single simple contest but both have come up with fun stuff and a bunch of augments, all sensible, fun etc. In the past I have stacked all the skills and it has worked, but the numbers have been pretty big. In this case I diverted things into a chained contest, but I get this situation a lot.
