Acid and items interaction

Thanks to Fuzzy-Wuzzy who identified it in the errate thread:

Acid Effects with this trait deal acid damage. An item with Hardness 5 or lower takes 1 extra Dent from acid damage.

How would you interprete the extra dent? Do I need to cause an initial Dent or do I cause one independently of my initial damage?

It's an extra Dent. It only applies if you already cause an initial Dent it.

That's how I would interprete it. In fact, it does seem rather straight forward to me.

Otherwise it would say something like "An item with hardness 5 or lower takes an automatic Dent when hit by acid damage. After that, apply dents for exceeding the item's Hardness as normal."
