Really? So any +Int template would give the +Int bonus as the flat score to a mindless creature?

Worse, any +Con template would give the +con bonus as a flat score to the formerly construct or undead? It seems weird that the -- would be treated as 0, and not 10, since it's treated as 10 for what it adds or subtracts from statistics dependent on that attribute.
