I think there is a small touch of legitimacy to this claim, but
it can be ecplained through the game mechanics.  With each description
describing two possible numbers (Low = 3 or 4) it would follow that an
offensive warrior would perform better with a higher offensive number
because his natural strength is being marginally improved.  On the other
hand, defensive warriors can concentrate on their defenses better with a
lower choice.  Basically, concentrate on your strengths and your warrior
will appear better, but this really isn't so.  After much time and
examination, I realize that I have warriors who really do like 4-3 and
4-5 (WS and PR).
