  Doesn't surprise me. The cases where it has been an issue for me is when it has been something that people don't know well enough. ("Heortling" to someone who has never encountered Glorantha, for instance.) Stuff like "Hunter" "Thug" "Jock" etc, tend to be easy to judge and NOT having listed abilities helped immensely.

My personal experience, but am not surprised to see that it came up in the playtesting.
