The way the P99 formula works (as I understand it), and the way live works, is that the server makes a roll against your skill to determine success. On success you have a fixed (better) chance of a skill-up, and on a failure you have a lesser (and stat-based) chance of a skill-up.
All of this directly contradicts a common
perception that was held by tradeskillers in the classic era, which held that your chance of getting a skill-up was independent of success or failure. Unfortunately even my bounty has failed to turn-up solid evidence one way or the other (even Daldaen's excellent find showing success did matter in 2004 doesn't prove how things were in 2001).
