GURPs is not a great system.
That said, level-based systems really only work for a certain specific sort of game. The progression is wonky, the world has to be built in strange ways, etc.

Re: Most Ridiculous Rules in RPGS
It is one thing to suspend your disbelief. It is another thing entirely to hang it by the neck until dead.
Verisimilitude -- n, the appearance or semblance of truth, likelihood, or probability.
The concern is not realism in speculative fiction, but rather the sense that a setting or story could be real, fostered by internal consistency and coherence.
