Handling multiple Edges that bootstrap an non-Unique thing

Yet another conundrum I can't quite work out how to handle. I have several Legacy "edges" that bootstrap Knowledge (Occult). Thanks to Mathias I now have things working so that Occult is properly added to a Bootstrapped skKnow skill which I am trying to conditionally add, and that's working great.

The problem I now have is that with there being multiple Edges that could potentially Bootstrap this, non-unique, Knowledge skill each one of these Edges I take will simply add yet another Knowledge (Occult) skill onto the sheet, when I need it to simply not add it at all if it already exists. I had set up a Condition on the bootstrap at Setup/1100 with something like "hero#Edge.edgWRLegK1 | hero#Edge.edgWRLegA1 | hero#Edge.edgWRLeJK1 | hero#Edge.edgWRLeJR1 | hero#Edge.edgWRLeJT1" so it wouldn't add if those other Edges existed. But if I add one of those Edges then the Knowledge (Occult) then disappears (because the condition exists, now, where both of the Edges are on the list so none of them apply.) So it either adds multiples of the skill or it erases it so it doesn't exist at all. I'm in a bit of a Catch 22 and unsure how to get out of this dilemma. :( (And I promise that I'm 99% sure it's the last one I have for this data file!)
 
Create an item on the Simple tab, that is unique. This helper item does the bootstrap of the skill, and the various edges bootstrap the helper.
