6 CIM Motors?

All right, I've read this section of the manual several times (and the rest of it twice, so don't get on my back for not reading it...), and I'm wondering if I'm reading this right:

In section 5.3.4.2 (Additional Parts and Materials Rules), <R43>, the last bullet:

Quote:
Teams may utilize one or two additional small CIM motors in addition to those provided in the kit of parts. This means that you may use up to four, and no more, small CIM motors on the robot.
In section 5.4.1 (2006 Kit Changes), the second bullet reads:

Quote:
Removed two of the CIM motors and replaced them with two larger CIM "mini-bike" motors.
The first rule says that teams may use 4 small CIM motors, and in the kit of parts teams are given two "larger" CIM motors. Does this mean that we can use 6 CIM motors total, 4 small and 2 large?
