To be clear, the statement in my second paragraph above is my interpretation of RAI rather than RAW.

In addition, I think the following comment from a similar FB discussion a few days ago is important to this topic.

PvK posted...
"Steve confirmed that is what he meant in that line. He didn't say why he chose to write it that way forty years ago, but that is what it always meant. So again, an ordinary dagger in the left hand doesn't stop hits."

It is also my opinion that the interactions between the various new talents relevant to this topic probably could've used more vetting and playtesting before their inclusion in the Legacy ruleset. I have had to re-write these extensively for use in my own games (and I'm still not fully satisfied with them).
