It just seems odd to double penalize the off-hand weapon. I mean, it's already learned at about half the rate of the right hand weapon. Add in not learning anything on 1/5 or more of all swings and one's skill in the right hand weapon will quickly outpace the left by a large amount. Not to mention the fact that you can learn weapons without swinging them, i.e. by getting off balance or fatigued. Although, I imagine that'll be fixed with the combat rewrite.
