"All tool/weapon skills increase all weapon's damage" is not bug?

It's obviously different from the xml and skill description, but isn't this a bug?
I have heard that it actually exists based on the results of at least one person's testing.

"Increasing any weapon level increases damage for all weapons."

Disregard, I see the xml is in english.....still chinese to me, but...

According to XML, this perk should only affect weapons that have the Gunslinger perk tag.
What many people don't know, however, is that the parent skill increases the headshot damage of all weapons in this branch of the skill tree.

The layers were so deep that only a very observant person would notice, so I'm including a link, but there's a video saved that actually shows all skills increasing the damage of all weapons.
If this is a "local environment bug," then nothing would make me happier, but my friend has also confirmed the same phenomenon.

Instead of using the UI, why not spawn zombies in and test on them to be sure? I don't trust that part of the UI.

I don't trust that part of the UI.

For a good reason; I tested shooting things with a pistol and a sniper. The character sheet number does increase with wrong talents, but the actual damage doesn't. Left the testing short, but seems like a pure UI bug.

Yeah, I had a user report something similar a long time ago with my mod. But they didn't mention the numbers came from that area in the beginning so I wasted a lot of time testing various things. Just to figure out that part of the UI is apparently old and broken.
