Inspiration Handicap Result

Hello!

I played a game a few days ago in which I rolled 14 (=INSPIRATION) in the handicap table. The guy I was playing against, who is a frequent TBBer (I won't mention bluetooth's name), told me that he has read a thread on this on TBB. He said that according to the rules gurus here, it means that if you go over the required SPP for a new skill, you automativally get a skill (no skill roll as in the modified table I've seen on TBB). I took him for his word, but the next day I just had to check and I couldn't find any such thread on TBB. My best guess is that he remembered a thread on Intensive Training, in which it is clear on the handicap table that you get a skill - no skill roll.

So, I put it to all you guys here:
If a player who gets the MVP from Inspiration handicap goes over the limit for a new skill, does he (os she as in this case) get a skill roll or an automatic skill?

You get to make a skill roll, just as if the player passed a skill boundary after the game.

Nothing is said in the rules that you have to pick the skill. And if you would have to pick the skill, another question would be asked: can I get other skills that normal ones as if I rolled a double? Or things like that... So, the logic is to make it simple.
I think they have not precised it because this handicap comes just after "intensive training", and they had not found it necessary to say it again because it was obvious though you have to do it.
