I think where we're missing each other is that the footnote isn't
about whether or not you should carry over your +5 if you have
Weaponmastery with Bow at Mentora rank. I think the straightforward
answer is that you should. My last messages may have obscured the fact
that I don't dispute this.
The real question is whether or not Grand Weaponmastery has a bonus of
3 or 5. The WM + Mentora bonus is just a data point in the evidence.
Perhaps this needs to be made more clear in the footnote.

You have inferred that from the evidence, but the evidence, to my
mind, isn't conclusive enough to even say that Joe ever gave this
particular issue any thought.

So are you arguing that people that complete previous adventures
should _not_ get +5? ;)
Of course only readers who completed previous adventures will have the
Silver Bow, Weaponmastery, and the Mentora bonus, so regardless of
what we say in the footnote, those folks will get +8.
