I'd never played it that way either, until somebody on this list pointed it
out a few months ago. Though I would say successes first go to reducing
scatter, and any left over stage up the damage.
Throw a 10S grenade with 4 sucesses, but only 2 meters of scatter, and it
ends up at the point you aimed at (using 2 successes), and then goes up to
10D (because of the other 2).
