I actually had that sort of thing in mind when I made it, I just didn't formally write it out.

The actual point of skill ranks is for the GMs to be able to decide on how powerful certain abilities are and enforcing lower rank characters having weaker abilities than higher rank ones. The whole "this can beat this" part came to be as a side effect, so I didn't detail it especially much. I'll prolly put more detail on that sort of thing, though.
