Figuring CV from DEX

[bushido11]

Greetings, Steve. It's not so much a rules question but a curiosity question. Why is CV calculated differently from the DEX roll? Why did the designers make Attack Rolls different from Skill Rolls? They could've made Attack Rolls like Skill vs. Skill rolls, but they didn't. What was the reasoning behind such decisions?

Even if I knew their exact thinking on the matter -- which I don't, having never had reason to ask 'em about it -- I don't generally answer design/philosophy/"why is it thisaway" questions.
