This is the oldest argument in the history of Shadowrun. Is armor bypassed when a called shot hits an unarmored location?

I have found another bit of text, this one being quite clear on how it is handled. It describes the system much differently then how the cannon is usually perceived.

M&M pg. 35 Under section Armor. 2nd paragraph.

"When a called shot is made against a character, or a specific limb or area is otherwise targeted or damaged, use only the Armor Rating for that location."

When they refer to location they are referring to: head, arm, leg, front torso, or back torso.
