An increase in apt does.
In what - real and not overly rare - situation do you think a +1 apt increase would influence a skilling decision? I genuinely can't remember a situation in the last months where this would have made a big difference for me. Especially with a draconian elementalist (which is what we are discussing here), the decision on what to train is basically determined by your starting book for a while, and then influenced by books you find, rather than your aptitudes.
edit: if you also meant that it causes new players to misinterpret its significance, that's a general property of the apt system and not really specific to this situation. But I assumed that's not what you meant because of the part about being adaptive in the OP.
