Size discrepancy in rules

[Nickego]

I was just reading through the first level spells of my wizard and I found that there is a rule discrepancy between Reduce Person and Enlarge Person in regards to projectile weapons.

This is from Enlarge Person
Any enlarged item that leaves an enlarged creature's possession (including a projectile or thrown weapon) instantly returns to its normal size. This means that thrown and projectile weapons deal their normal damage.

This is Reduce Person
Any reduced item that leaves the reduced creature's possession (including a projectile or thrown weapon) instantly returns to its normal size. This means that thrown weapons deal their normal damage ****(projectiles deal damage based on the size of the weapon that fired them).*****

The discrepancy is marked with ****'s

This would mean that a an enlarged archer that picks up a lrg sized longbow and arrows would do more damage than any med longbows/arrows that changed size with him.

Which is correct?

You are correct that there is a discrepancy.

And you are correct about the enlarged archer.

There's nothing that says that the effects of the Enlarge Person and Reduce person should perfectly mirror each other, but on the other hand, it really seems like they should. They're the same level, cast by the same casters. Personally, I would apply the Reduce Person's approach to both spells.

Has this been addressed before, or should we F.A.Q. this?

FrantheDM, if you are saying this has been FAQ'd or address can you please post the link since it I was not able to find it before I posted.

Thanks

If it has not been addressed or FAQ'd how do we go about getting those done?

The notion this is odd has been addressed by someone on Paizo staff IIRC, but since no actually changes have occurred, this needs a good F.A.Q.ing.
