Trade (Armourer) - governd Characteristic

By Kuririn67, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

Hi,
can anybody tell me why in the name of the four .. ähhh one and only god the skill:
Trade (Armourer) is governed by the characteristic strength and not intelligence!!!
I mean - the only career path which gets the honor to craft armour and weapons are the tech priest - and strength is a tertiary characteristic for them.
Also, if you think about it - in the year 40.000 - and even today - you rather design plans of a weapon or armour and tell a machine to build it than taking your hammer and anvil and start forging. If you think about the characteristics of a Mesh Armour - there is nobody doing this by hand ... that must be a machine.
Is there anybody else thinking this should be adjusted - in errata 4.0?!?

Yes. I only use Strength when the character is literally smithing the armour himself.
