This are things that make the Microlite20 system work well. M74 is supposed to be a version of M20 that favors the style and flavor of that first published "0e" RPG. It is not meant to completely duplicate the 0e rules. Of course, GMs are not are free to tinker, but are encouraged to do so. I may need to spell this out more in the Designer's Notes as modern games seem to favor the rules as written far more than I feel is healthy for campaigns not being ran by the designers.
Hehehe... Thanks for the Zen Slap.

Indeed, I might be loosing my way here again.
