I thought it was pretty obvious, especially give the context of the first half of the post.
I didn't choose anything, and wasn't involved in the prototyping or testing. However, it is hardly arbitrary to have basic skills cost 1 AP, intermediate 2 and advanced 3.
Again, I thought it was obvious that my point was that actual experience playing with a particular system outweighs theory about how it may not work.
Considering that all of the internal testers and many of the public testers at PAX have played D:OS, yes, it has been compared to a similar system with higher AP.
