Because the normal human(oid) response to improved success rates (which
we are quite bad at judging objectively in the first place) is to assume
that one is becoming more awesomely skilled. Or that the weapon is
lucky, but that'll happen with an unenchanted sword as well and
certainly one wouldn't know an exact value of enchantment.
Learning enchantments by use makes perfect sense for qualitative
properties like burning or freezing foes, but it fails the realism test
for quantitative data. If we allow it for quantitative information, it
is only because we think it makes the game play better.

Avenger should be a Paladin title,
not an ego item.
