I'd love to see a 'clarifications' type PDF or something that both re-presents a lot of this stuff clearly and also cleans up some of these ambiguities.
Not to dis the work that's been done - I do like Ars Magica, especially 5th ed., and combat isn't a focus of the game - but it is notorious for rules being hidden in the strangest of places and not being reminded-of in areas where they need to apply.
Agreed. David/Atlas also do a good job with the errata. But a clarification type PDF (not quite but nearly a FAQ) would be really helpful. Things like 1 round = 6 s, which clear but is buried in a few spots, would be handy. And, of course, wound penalties applying or not applying to Soak rolls is a must.

I'm sorry, but I'm reasonably sure he's not.
I have had the same problem with some of your posts.
This is entirely true, but you can come across somewhat bombastically (s that a word in english?) at times.
Much less so recently, I had noted though 
It is, but I'd rather call that language level academic.
