Well yeah but…imagine your weapon of choice is a sword with some random overcomplicated extra features, and you have a 3 in using it. Now if I were to give you plain sword... you would be able to fight with it adequately, but for the sake of my point let’s assume your general weapon skill is a 1.

Now...imagine you are about to duel me, you with that plain sword, and me with a potted plant, that for some reason I have a 3 in using it.

No amount of insane troll logic would change the fact you would kick my ass despite me having a higher mastery of the weapon used for the duel. If you get use the pot to deflect the blade(which you can because you're a master with it), get in close, and smash him over the head hard enough to shatter the pot now he has a concussion and you have shards of pottery to stab him with.

Primary reflects the weapon type you are most trained with rather than ypur exclusive tool. such as shortswords, while general is weapons you're trained in basic use of but not advanced techniques.
