I suppose so.

Use their text (slight revision of our footnote).

Revise the text with "If you win the combat and the fight lasts longer
than four rounds ...".

Use both revisions.

Revise the text, but retain the clause about the Platinum Amulet.

How about this? "The COMBAT SKILL bonus for using a Shield does not
apply here, nor do any bonuses for using Alether or any weapon-like
Special Items such as the Sommerswerd. The only exception is the bonus
granted for possessing the Silver Helmet. Any bonuses to ENDURANCE due
to armour should not be applied during this combat."

How about this? "(If you have both Disciplines, you may only add 4 to
the number you pick.)"

I guess we can delete the footnote and adjust the erratum entry.

I really hate to lose the original here. The revision feels flat in
comparison. I don't think it would be so bad to add "The next book in
the Lone Wolf series is entitled The Plague Lords of Ruel." after the
last paragraph?
