Tied for Lowest Level question

In the Conan Munchkin deck there is a curse that causes the cursed person to show their hand and have the lowest person take a card. The rule states that if there is a tie for lowest they both take a card. If you are the lowest person however, we are told that the player "just" discards a card.

The issue was that the player who drew the card was tied for last place...so did the other person in last place get to steal a card or was the cursed individual sufficiently last enough to "just" discard.

My reasoning for thinking it is the latter is that the intent is for a lower placed person to take a card from somewhere higher levelled, or rather the higher levelled to lose a card to the lower. If they are both tied than it seems too much to have the other last place person take a card. That and the 2nd rule requiring both people to draw a card from the hand seems impossible; if one of the persons actually has the hand, he can't really draw from it per the rules...

Thoughts...?
