So, I'm posting this here before thinking of submitting a bug report because I'm guessing I just don't know the full story and I don't want to waste a Dev's time. Here's what I've noticed:

I am using a modulated strip miner II, which I have just finished training for. I went to plug in a Veldspar Mining Crystal II, but checked the stats - it says that I lack Refining IV and Veldspar Processing IV. However, I can still use the crystal when mining, and based on what the stats say, I am receiving all the bonuses of using it. This seems to be the case with all the crystals.

Why can I use it although it says that I don't have the skill? Is this a bug, or is there another issue I don't know about?

Really old bug, really minor exploit. I wouldn't worry about it.
