Automatic Success or Failure when Dodging or Defending

As I'm re-reading all the TFT rules, here's another rule clarification question:

Automatic Success and Failure rules are well known for a Roll to Hit, as described in Advanced Melee p11. Automatic Failure Rules for a Roll to Miss are at AM p16.

At AM, p18 are rules when rolling 4 dice against a Dodge or Defend, they say: 4,5 are Always Hit, 20 is Always Miss, 21,22 Dropped Weapon, 23,24 Broken Weapon.

Does this mean than one can never have Triple or Double Damage when rolling to hit against a Dodge or Defending target?

At In The Labyrinth p38 is a list of automatic success and failure ranges for saving rolls, they show 4 dice automatic success as 4-8 Is the To Hit vs Dodge or Defend intentionally different?

Finally at ITL, p16 under talents for Unarmed Combat IV and V lists attacks against high proficiency martial artists used 5, 6 or 7 dice but don't state the values for automatic success or failure.

Has some clarity been made to these anywhere?
