I think it's a pretty interesting idea. Yes it fold two disparate ideas together, but so do all of the other stats: dexterity (agility & fine motor coordination), Intelligence (even in RL this describes a whole raft of things), Wisdom (decision making, will power, and faith), Charisma (likability, persuasiveness, looks).
I would not support changing D&D's stats, they're too much a part of the identity of the game, but if I did I would probably pick a different set of attributes. Off the top of my head, 1) Might (strength, stamina), 2) Coordination (fine motor), 3) Speed (agility plus, well, speed), 4) Mind (spells, will, magic item use, faith, perception of magic, etc), 5) Perception (seeing clues, social cues, detective stuff). I would specifically leave off intelligence and charisma as covering things I'd prefer to leave to the player rather than the character. Constitution would also be left out as not important enough to game play to include.
