I'm not disagreeing with you, in fact I really "don't know" the answer. I know how I remember it being discussed openly in the game every time this question would come up. But just to point out, this information is 2 years newer than the game release - and a lot of us started playing in beta in 98. It's very possible it WAS both ways and not one or the other.
Yea, but it is extremely unlikely that they would change a mechanic as drastic as Dual Wield so late. This was probably stock. When the game was released, there weren't very good log parsers available...It is not a stretch to say that it took a year or two to get one produced that was able to evaluate melee skills accurately.

Dual Wield is independent of the primary weapon...And it will never be different on this client...

When Damage bonus is implemented, you want the fastest weapon possible (as long as the ratio isnt complete garbage) in mainhand, and the best ratio in offhand.

BUT NOW, Best ratio mainhand, next best, offhand.
