It's realistic enough if you're talking about characters with low ranks in the skill. In your typical D&D fantasy world, 90% of people will be 1st or 2nd level NPCs, and so won't have lots of ranks with which to break your suspension of disbelief. As for the other 10%, well, heroes are meant to break the mould, aren't they?

And the other half consists of evil priests, draco liches in disguise and politicians.
