Unfamiliar Weapon Penalty

[Yamato]

I realize that you can't use Penalty skill Levels (PSL) to offset the -3 penalty for not having WF with a weapon, thus incuring the Unfamiliar Weapon Penalty. But if you had, say, 3 CSL With HTH Combat or 3 CSL With All combat, could you use them to offset the -3 penalty for Unfamiliar Weapon when you attack with such, thus effectively giving you WF with all weapons for either 15 points or 24 points? If not, why not?

A character can use appropriate Combat Skill Levels (typically 5- or 8- point CSLs) to partially or fully counteract the Unfamiliar Weapon penalty by assigning them to OCV when using a weapon he hasn’t been trained to use.
