I guess, in my innocence as a new player, I read the rules and took them at face value. I don't quite get the confusion over that sentence. How can a permanently downgraded general count as a level above for combat (ie counting a downgraded LG, now TG, as +2)?

I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just trying to understand why there is a lack of clarity.

I let my opponent keep his +2 for a Legendary General when I knocked him down to Talented.  I couldn't find the answer in the paperwork.

I've only just started playing, but I would have thought 9.1 D:5 (although I think it should be 3. - Page 54) "A Sword&Arrow symbol injures a general - he permanently drops a level down (to a minimum of Mediocre) but keeps any cards he is holding." indicates he is no longer "Legendary" and permanently "Talented" therefore loses the +2?
