But here you're back to a vehicle with the same stats having a
different point value simply because at some point in the past its
hull was bigger.  This is an undesirable state, and thus, to be
avoided.  Further, it just doesn't /happen/ if you drop Size as a
computed value and just select a Signature value instead.
