Singleton: does it scale like Weapon Training?

[Dabbler]

Just reading through the APG and some of the details on the Free Hand Fighter variant (something I like conceptually) jumped out at me: Singleton is gained at level 5 instead of Weapon Training, and grants a +1 on attacks and damage just like Weapon Training does. However, Weapon Training scales up at 9th, 13th and 17th levels, but it does not state that Singleton does this (not asking if he gains weapon training at these levels, just if the original ability scales as the Weapon Training you took your first benefit with does). If it does, the FHF become very viable, if it doesn't the FHF ... doesn't cut it. Losing that potential damage and chance to hit increments alone is enough to make one think twice.

My assumption is that it is just an editting error as it makes no sense that all the other variant abilities progress as weapon training does save this one.

That's what I thought, but there's no indication either way. Perhaps in the errata ...

I've pointed out this same question in the Errata thread HERE some days ago.

I hope time will tell us an answer...
