Weren't most battle dices rolled with 2d6? Like ATT+2d6 vs DEF+2d6? Or does my memory fail me? In that case there wouldn't be any discontinuity regardless of numbers used, just a statistical weight on the middle values. Remember, there is no spoo... er... 'discontinuity in that scenario'.
And such things as neat order and common sense have nothing to say when it comes to the hardened habit of an old rpg'er to use dices with numbers from 1 up. Never have thought there would be anything strange with Shadowrun system, but put it that way... yes, the distinction between 'moderately hard' and 'hard' is irrelevant.
