Default BRP Comprehension Problems

There are some minor points in the BRP Zero Edition which I do not really
understand, probably due to some language comprehension problem.

It would be very nice if one of you could help me with this. Thank You !

1) According to the BRP Zero Edition, both Education and Intelligence can
rise through study and training.
Does this mean that a character will then receive additional skill points for
his higher Education or Intelligence after the successful training ?

2) I do not really understand what the BRP Zero Edition's Fine Manipulation
Skill is used for.
Does the description imply that a character with this skill can equally well
disarm traps, pick locks and tie knots and improves all of these rather dif-
ferent skills whenever he improves the Fine Manipulation skill ?

3) In the BRP Zero Edition the Heavy Machine Skill seems to have both ve-
hicles (e.g. Bulldozer) and vehicle engines (e.g. Turbines) as possible spe-
cialties.
Does this mean that I could use specialties of this skill for an entire Fishing
Boat as well as for the Hyperdrive Engine of a starship ?

4) In the BRP Zero Edition the Repair Skill has a base chance of 15 % and
proposals for various specialties, for example Electrical Repair.
Does this mean that any character has a base chance of 15 % in all of the
various Repair specialties, and that he will keep this base chance in all the
other specialties if he develops one of the specialties to more than 15 % ?
