Not the same as buying SP huh...

Situation 1:
"Hey, think I'll train per/will for the next year to get into those nice t2 ships and getting some proper gunnery skills"
*remap to per/will, training them at 2790 SP/h*

6 months in:
"Damn, I really need to get my fitting skills sorted and I'm training them only at 2070 SP/h... Guess I'll have to live with my choices *sadpanda*"
*continues training int/mem for 6 months until next remap*

Result: 20,995,200 SP from that year

Situation 2:
"Hey, think I'll train per/will for the next year to get into those nice t2 ships and getting some proper gunnery skills"
*remap to per/will, training them at 2790 SP/h*

6 months in:
"Damn, I really need to get my fitting skills sorted and I'm training them only at 2070 SP/h... Screw this, I have isk to spare!"
*buys a remap, now training int/mem at 2790 SP/h and continues training int/mem for 6 months until next remap*

Result: 24,105,600 SP that year

Now please tell me how the person in situation 2 didn't buy a bit over 3M SP, given to him over 6 months. Yea the rate is bad, but that's not the point is it?
(Think it's worth noting I could've made the post-remap time 11.9 months for lulz, but trying to be fair here. And it could also be that the time required for per/will is only 6 months and the player is switching over on purpose so it's not about him/her making a mistake)

Maybe this is not game breaking in itself, but it does cross a line.

This proposal does not help new players what so ever unless they are RL-rich, because they can't afford to buy PLEX in-game anyway. And the RL-rich can already just buy a character with their $$$. So basically this is all in an effort to train new alts and old mains faster, which is not needed.
