Not to rain on anybody's parade, but there are some, and I am one, who think that the book is just confusing on the subject of the default 14. That is, I've seen about a half-dozen ways to interpret it, all with merit, but all of which can be attacked pretty well from one viewpoint or another. My advice is just to figure out a way that works for yourself and stick with it. And not worry about trying to get it to fit the contradictions in the book.
No game is perfect.
