So he may have already hit pretty close to his max growth in BC (for training). At that point he would stop growing in BC, and if he were just barely over the line to 8 (7.5 or 7.9 however it rounds), then even a small decrease due to sharpening could push him back down.

But he's got a +0.4 to his display. Two weeks ago "better knowledge" takes the display modifier to 0. He "drops" to 7 BC. But he is adding 0.1 BC per week, so 2 weeks later he pops back to 8.

I was assuming that both scout sharpening and training were happening at a linear rate, but that would only allow for one correction. So they must not be absolutely linear. There must be some small amount of variation which enables the two lines to cross twice. Not so surprising I suppose that training has some variation week to week. I do think the example still supports my theory on sharpening normally being masked by development.

If it were a random event you would see more drops in various skills early on after picking a guy up. I'm imagining that training has a random component to it. That would be enough to explain the double correction given this guys training advance in BC is so low.
