There's already a situation where an 8 point mortar can be on a much higher column or a 16 strength gun can be on a lower column, so its not like the friendly fire results are tied to the type or ordnance. I don't see any reason that would change for VT fuzes.
My reply would be that this simply reflects the random spread in the possible result of a missed bombardment (e.g., a low result from fire "scatter" whereas a "high" result might be due to the friendly side not being hunkered down - expecting the rainfall 200m over). What my thinking was vis-a-vis shifting the FF scale a bit move severe is simply that ... statistically shifting a random distribution to reflect that the improved munitions would have, on average, a more significant effect on its target (intended or otherwise).
