What about sometimes ignorance is bliss.
If a character needs to do something dangerous and needs a conviction roll to do so, a high scholary, knowledge about how stupid/dangerous it is what he attemps, might increase his doubt of doing it. Like working on a cleaning crew for a damage nuclear plant. The more you know, the less you want to go there.

But to answer your question: I think it might make, very rarely, sense.
But it wouldn't be fun to be punished for a higher skill, so i wouldn't do it.

p.s.: Since i am new to the system: Is conviction the right roll to resist fear of doing something?
