The problem is that Strife measures something subjective. I can disagree how much a situation affects my character emotionally, depending on my picture on the character. There can be quite a difference between how I want to portray my character and how the mechanics force me to do it. On the other hand, Wounds are purely objective. I can't realistically say that getting slashed in the abdomen affects my character differently than the others - it is gonna hurt and it will be ugly. There is a very simple cause-and-effect in work there, nothing to worry about.
