Hi.
What's the difference between

A static advantage is a long-term one-permanent
and

A static advantage is a long-term (permanent ) one
?
Sorry if the question doesn't belong in here. I found no appropriate place.

Thanks in advance

"A static advantage is a long-term one-permanent" does not make sense. "A static advantage is a long-term one — permanent" could be viable. I'm not sure whether that was intended.

Both seem to be explaining that "long-term" is intended to mean "permanent". If so, the difference is the author's choice.
