Foreigner and common second language

[Roadto3k]

I read that foreigner does not give quirk points because players shouldn't take something that is isolates communication to have better quirks, but the new common second language gives 2 points. If its set to 10% understanding, its nearly the same as foreigner, but you are given points. So what is meant by this?

In hindsight it probably shouldn't allow less than 50% understanding but I just copy+pasted the options from Bilingual I think

it’s so that people who wordlessly powergame don’t get free perk points
