It's another of those "But it's always been that way!" holdovers. Simply put: Wisdom needs to go. Perception is a factor of mental reflexes and quick thinking, and so belongs with Intelligence. Insight is just about perceiving social cues and processing that information, so again fits with Intelligence. Willpower is far more of a "force of personality" thing, and thus should be tied to Charisma. And... those are really the only two things Wisdom is for.

Use your quick wits to see past something that's trying to trick your mind, and use your force of personality to resist people trying to subvert your will.Right, now that that's done... let's talk about Strength and Constitution...</blockquote>
