Raising SPECIAL by using[]

The mention that skill usage may raise SPECIAL stats is wrong. The screenshot provided is a hoax or, at best, an honest mistake. The message about gaining 1 perception is exactly the message which appears after taking healing powder (which reduces perception temporarily by 1), and then spending some time using "Doctor" skill - which heals the character but takes significant time in order to do so. As a result, it is entirely reproducible to have this very situation the screenshot is about: healing oneself (which is visible on the screenshot) by Doctor skill while having one's Perception temporarily lowered by Healing Powder, and then having this message about gaining 1 Perception (which is merely the end of the period when Perception was temporarily lowered).—Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.163.217.239 (talkcontribs).

I was unable to find any Fallout 2 guide mentioning the ability to raise SPECIAL by using it, so I decided to remove it.
