[mecha crusade] Pilot skill question

[Shadow64]

In the Piloting and Movement section of Mecha Combat it states that if you try to move past an opponant without provoking an AoO that you use either Tumble or Pilot, whichever has the lower bonues. Can someone explain this to me? It seems to me that it should be whichever is higher - or not even have the Tumble check involved when in a mech. I could be the most agile person in the world, but if i can't control my mech then it is worthless.

The Pilot skill represents a 'ceiling' for other skills; it makes it more difficult for non-trained users to Tumble in a Mecha Suit.

Makes sense to me not only do you need to be able to tumble but also tumble in a mecha.
