Clarify? Ambidexterity VS Florentine regarding Exotic weapons

[MM/NPL Dustin]

Would like clarification of the following:

Ambidexterity 

This skill allows a player to wield two-One-Handed Weapons in combat. Weapons are restricted to the Medium 

or Simple Weapon Groups in the player’s main hand (not exceeding 50 inches in length nor having more than a 
base weapon damage of 2) and Simple Weapon Group in the off hand.  (One- handed, not exceeding 30 inches in 
length nor having more than a base weapon damage of 1.)

Florentine 

This skill furthers a players training in the art of two-weapons fighting. With this skill, the player is no longer 
limited in the size / type of One-Handed Weapon they may wield. The only restriction is both on and off hand 
weapons must be One Handed and from the Medium , Simple, or Exotic Weapon groups, not exceeding 50 inches 
in length and having no more than a base dam age of 2. 

Had a conversation with a few other players at high winter about this, who were claiming that in order to duel-wield a simple and exotic weapon, one needs only ambidexterity. As far as the rulebook seems to be concerned, in order to duel-wield exotic weapons at all, one requires both skills.

They are incorrect. While the wording may seem weird, Ambidexterity allows you to use 2 weapons. One in each hand. Without Florentine, you are limited to either 2 simple weapons, or if you have medium or exotic weapons proficiency, you may use a medium weapon in your primary hand.

Florentine allows you to use a medium, or exotic weapons in your your off-hand. You are no longer restricted to only using Simple weapons in your off-hand.
