Gotcha! Thank you for the clarification!
The text I quoted is from page 14 and is repeated again at the bottom of page 167 to 168. I wonder if they were considering doing what you suggested, using the base score, instead but just haven't updated the text yet.
That would be a major, major jump with the class base number plus the full strength stat though (the way I thought it was) compared to the +STR. Maybe it would be most balanced if it was only straight strength score as you suggest.
Now that I'm thinking about it: fictionally, a strong thief should be able to carry more than a weak fighter. Just saying.
