Disagree.
As I said WAAAY back in my first post, I imagine this is a common house rule, but it's not the way the rules are explicitly written. I'm not even arguing that the RAW makes more sense - I'm just arguing what is and isn't RAW.

Here, at least, I'll agree.

Except it's explicitly NOT included in the overall skill when there's a specialization, because the rules specifically say "Specializations are separate skills."

"Specializations are separate skills" would indicate otherwise.
All of the examples and justifications you've given in this thread violate either | R&E wrote: | | "Specializations are separate skills." |
or | R&E wrote: | | "If a character improves the basic skill, the specialization doesn't improve; if the specialization is improved, the basic skill doesn't go up." |
or both. It's a reasonable house rule to make, but it's simply not RAW. |
