Some more questions

because there is only so much time between events. Research and Investigate take time and the more time you put into them, the better the results. If you do both, one of them is going to suffer. As I stated above, its not strictly verboten to do both. As GMs we will weight each request and determine the outcome based on time available, complexity of the requests, and conflicting plot or PC activity.

Because there isnt a 'baseline' to give. It states right in the rule,
Independantly each skill functions this way. With both you get a bonus. Could be time, could be detial. In either case,Only one thing can be researched. There are no fixed times for research. You are not guaranteed to learn anything.
Because of the vague and fluid nature of the skill, a baseline is impossible to establish.You are not guaranteed to learn anything.
Doesn't slander give you a negative pool the same size as your own? To me that's saying you have enough time to keep up your obligations AND have you and your people do enough work sabotaging someone elses reputation. Now I've never really understood this entire concept of how you could do that and not have it be clear to everyone it was you and your organization, but would that negatively affect your research or investigation? If not then why does anything else?
