As a child, were you the kid who struggled to put the different shaped pegs into the different shaped holes?
I'll repeat myself. The training time for the skills that you will now be starting with, has being removed from the game.
The skill you trained however, has not been removed from the game.
You are attempting to equate opportunity cost with actual removal. The two are not the same and never will be no matter how much you protest.
I would not personally be against any character without the new starting skills gaining the starting skills of their faction, and tough luck to Mags and their OCD in that case.
But I am very much against a free 350k SP unallocated SP grab which is what you are attempting to justify. |

It is arbitrary to not disburse a "trivial," sum of sp when there is no functional way to distinguish between this instance and previous instances of skill modification, all of which were met with proportional sp refunds if not new skills in excess of legacy sp count.
Except previous skill modifications only awarded free SP when a skill was REMOVED.
Key word there, Removed. If a skill got turned to something else, no SP, if it got made less effective, no SP.
The part where you are being confused is CCP's policy of 'if you could fly/use it before you can fly/use it now.
So any time CCP changed the skill requirements for an item, ala the Battlecruiser skill change to racial skills, they made sure people could still fly the same Battlecruisers after the change as before. But those people did not gain any NEW abilities. Bolded to make sure you see the difference between 'More SP' that simply let the person do what they could before, and 'More SP' that gives a person a new ability they couldn't do before the change. |

Can you cite an example?
Drone Interfacing. Turned from 20% to 10%
Jump Drive Calibration, base jump skills became less effective, JDC gave less.
Drones splitting to Light & Medium skills. People kept able to fly exactly what they could before at the same skill, but did not get given any NEW abilities. |
