Like [USER=7040941]@Emberashh[/USER] earlier explained, the procedure jumbles together several unrelated things. Now it is perfectly valid that one might want to make such a trade off for expedient game play, but lets not pretend that it is not a trade off and the logic of task resolution odds doesn't get messed up in the process. I have far lower chances of successfully making macarons than Gordon Ramsey has successfully making chocolate chip cookies, but this is not because I am more likely to be interrupted to non-cooking related mishaps while baking, it is because I'm a bad cook and Gordon is very good one, and I will mess up a complicated recipe while he will easily successfully execute a simple one.</blockquote>
