It is when you're using the (optional, supposedly) rules from the
Companion -- a Concentration is one dot away from the general skill, and a
Specialization is a half-dot away from a Concentration.

I don't use this rule, instead I use the SRII rule where two dice are
subtracted from the Concentration's rating, or 4 from the Specialization,
when using the corresponding general skill.

Since SR3 will be put together by the same people who wrote the Companion,
R2, and other recent books, though, my guess is that the Companion's rules
will appear in SR3 instead of the ones in SRII.
