Default Re: GURPS Thaumatology: Chinese Elemental Powers

I noticed something on my first read but reread it to be sure. If its not errata I am sorely confused.
Under Focus on page 20 it says to roll vs. lower of modified focus or unmodified Meditation for extra effort. The example seems to support this.
Trouble is that means you can take penalties for Extra Effort and roll against unmodified Meditation if you did not learn the Focus technique.
Under the Extra Effort rules on page 12 it mentions Meditation can replace the Will roll but does not specifically say it is penalized.
Rules lawyers will bother me that page 20 means there is no penalty since its specified in one place, not the other.
