Here you can see that an amendment was properly added to the Operating Notes by the Operator:

Actually it's good example. You describe how it should be in theory. And this is how it was in reality for this particular manual:
The incorporated amendments were not logged by the operator in the A.L. overview in the front of the manual.
Some amended paragraphs were cut out of the amendment list and placed (not always taped or pasted, some only slipped in) above or below the old paragraphs. Some amendments were written into old paragraphs by a pencil.
About 4-5 pages of the amendment list were slipped in the front of the book and the old paragraphs didn't even contain a note that there are amendments in the front for it.
Also you will find some instances where a subject was amended in one section of the manual but the same subject is not amended in another section.
You are simply putting to much weight into the single sentences of the manual, you must look at the context.
Do you think the ground crew always read a manual before the fueled up the aircraft? They simply painted a small "100" next to the fuel tank cap and everyone knew what to do.
