I still don't see how you guys would think the parenthetical expression I added is the intent. Why would SJG revise/reprint rules and assume "newcomers" were familiar enough with the old rules to assume you could still get talents/spells simply by increasing IQ?

This assumption/question you guys are posing is basically the same as asking "If I spend XP to increase IQ, do I get 500XP to spend on spells/talents?"
I think the potential for confusion (even for newbies) is simply the precedent established during character creation. They will ask, why should a character use IQ differently after character creation?
