It would be extremely easy to implement if they so chose to, allow anyone to add 44 points of det. If you put 44 points into det, the result is 31 points on the final result. Just like every other weapon in the game. Not that I mind the current implementation, my novus and my nexus will enjoy the extra Det I get on there. It does, however, lead to some very insane prices on Tier IV Det materia as it is the must have stat for almost every novus.

However, what's more baffling is why they chose to give Det a non-standard stat weight in the first place. All of the other normal secondaries are normalized such that the amount we see on materia and gear is consistent (does not count PIE which is sort of a weird hybrid primary&secondary stat anyway).
