Sun's effect on man hazard creatures

So I see that Sun's +1 to Men affects hazards too; so does that give an overall net of +0 to Man hazards (-1 from the first part of the card, +1 from the last part) or +1 (if the first part of the card is ignored)?

Sun
Environment. The prowess of each Dunadan is modified by +1. Additionally, if Gates of Morning is in play, the prowess of each automatic-attack and hazard creature is modified by -1 and the prowess of each Man and Dunadan is modified by +1. Cannot be duplicated.

Last part of the card apply only to Man and Dunadan characters and doesn't apply at all to hazard, because it doesn't have the keyword attack (and it would have been weird thematically).
Thus all creatures have -1 prowess, whatever the type of creature.

Thanks!  I could have SWORN I saw something somewhere that said that it was ruled that Man hazards were affected, but now I can't find it at all.

Ah, here it is:

"Clarification: The modification also applies to men hazard creatures like Ambusher."

So who is right?

You may take this as an official word.

so basically the effects cancels out for Hazard men, as they get a -1 for being hazard creature and a +1 for being men. Right?

Not quite.

Environment. The prowess of each Dunadan is modified by +1. Additionally, if Gates of Morning is in play, the prowess of each automatic-attack and hazard creature is modified by -1 and the prowess of each Man and Dunadan is modified by +1. Cannot be duplicated.

The -1 will affect attacks created by hazard creatures, as indicated on the card.  The +1 will only apply to characters without specific mention of some form of attack (i.e. automatic attack, hazard creatures, etc.)
