Clean Slate Glitch?

I honestly have no idea where you people who are saying that it's not a glitch are coming from. It says plainly when you fail a clean slate with a white scroll that "since the white scroll was used, the item's upgrade slots remained intact." Well, no, the the item's upgrade slots did not remain intact, they increased by one. If that isn't enough, white scrolls were created before clean slates, cold protection, and spikes scrolls came out, meaning from a programming standpoint, it's easier to program the scroll to add a slot upon failure rather than actually "protecting" the item as both would achieve the same effect before the introduction of scrolls that did not take away a slot upon failure. Also, these new scrolls originated in kMS, which does not have white scrolls and thus would not have had this problem.

There are other things in the text that are wrong i.e. Meso guard was wrong for the longest time wasn't it? I guess the way it works now means it's a glitch. If that's not the right skill, there's at least one other text-based thing in-game that's wrong.

edit; wonder how some1 found out about this though. I mean its not like its smart to try out a 3% clean slate with a white scroll I wonder why they did this.

I was confirming this with a friend and he told me this did exist from when both scrolls were in the game at the same time. Only a few people knew about it. Now that there have been threads on at least 3 major forums, a lot more people know about it. If the threads were never created, the secret would have remained a secret.
