I've been looking at the Dragon Style feats and rereading the Dragon Ferocity feat, I have a question that needs a bit of clarification.
"Taking this feat allows you to qualify for the Elemental Fist feat even if you do not meet that feat’s prerequisites. If you do not meet that feat’s prerequisites, you must choose one of the damage types that feat offers, and you can use only that damage type with your Elemental Fist attacks until you meet the feat’s normal prerequisites. A monk with this feat can use Elemental Fist as if he were a monk of the four winds."
Reading that, I initially thought that this meant that a monk could qualify for Elemental Fist without the prerequisite, but looking at it again, I noticed at the end is said that a monk with THIS feat (ie. Dragon Ferocity) can use Elemental Fist as if he were a Monk of the Four Winds. One could argue it's talking about Elemental Fist, but it does something similar at the beginning. It refers to Dragon Ferocity as THIS feat and Elemental Fist as THAT feat.
So, my question is, does this mean that a monk who takes the Dragon Ferocity feat also gets Elemental Fist as well? That may have not been intentional, but it does make sense given that you're mimicking a dragon's powers. (Not to mention it would be a huge boon to a monk I'm working on.)
Edit: While I'm at it, does this also mean that the Monk's Stunning Fist gets replaced by Elemental Fist, since that is also part of the Monk of the Four Winds archetype, or does he retain Stunning Fist and add Elemental Fist to his list?

Incorrect. It means that if you have Elemental Fist and Dragon's Ferocity, you can use Elemental Fist like a Monk of the Four Winds, that is, with a scaling bonus to damage.
Stunning Fist is fine and dandy all the meanwhile. You don't actually get the archetype.
