Here's the clever bit: it won't. Where FT touches on the same items as LT and the Basic Set, there are distinct names for the items in question, so you can easily distinguish the realistic and wildly unrealistic versions. Basic, for example, has the longbow and the katana, whereas FT has the Welsh longbow and the legendary katana. FT has Gothic plate whereas LT has fluted plate. And so on. And the Ethnic Cool rules in LT (or was that LTC2?) generically discuss how to make your own Ethnic Cool items without conflicting with descriptions of items which happen to be the subject of ethnic coolness.
Clever way to dodge the issue, but I fear that it might cause confusion. Still, I can't wait for Low Tech (if it's coming out in hardcover before the end of the year, that means that it's coming out in PDF before that). I really want to see how certain things I commented on ended up.
