Redundant advances?

By Ki_Ryn, in Rogue Trader Rules Questions

An astropath starts out with a Psy Rating of 2, so why is Psy Rating 2 also on the list of advances for purchase?

From the errata:

DUPLICATED SKILLS AND TALENTS

It is important to note that many Career Paths starting Skills and Talents are duplicated at Rank 1 of the Career’s Advances. This is an intentional duplication, and represents the training that is available to all Careers regardless of their origins. Future expansions for the Rogue Trader line may feature Alternate Career ranks or backgrounds with different starting skills, and therefore, this duplication serves a purpose for the overall Rogue Trader line. If a character already possesses such a Skill or Talent from Character Generation, they may not purchase it again at Rank 1.

Thanks! I was afraid I was misunderstanding something important.
