This is mostly correct, but I should have just left the damage information
out:

Master Hafted Weapon (2). Prerequisite: Expert Hafted Weapons, IQ10+, AdjDX
14+. Youre a legendary master of hafted weapons. Opponents are 4 DX to hit
you in melee combat  if youre using a hafted weapon.

Note the change in required AdjDX.

My assumption is that it is possible to achieve a higher level of fighting
ability with swords than with hafted weapons (reflected in the better
defensive capabilities with expert and master sword talents). Partly
balancing this is the better damage of hafted weapons (at the expert level)
and the lower adjDX requirements for master level.
