Whirling Steel Strike Feat

[Pnumbra]

Half-Elf Dilettante: Monk
Description:
You have meditated alongside monks in the most remote of places. You gain proficiency with the quarterstaff, kama, and shuriken, and can add up to 2 points of your Wisdom bonus to your Armor Class. This Armor Class bonus does not stack with the similar monk class ability. For item use purposes you count as a level one monk in addition to any other classes you possess. This feat is not recommended for characters with actual monk levels.

Will this feat qualify for the Monk level 1 requirement to use the Whirling Steel Strike?

My guess would be no. Whirling steel strike says that the prerequisites are:
1) Weapon Focus Slashing AND
2) Monk Level 1 AND
3) one of (Proficiency: longswords OR follower of the sovereign host OR Half elf: Fighter dilettante.)

It doesn't list any alternatives for the monk level 1 requirement.

However, the best way to find out is to check yourself. If you have veteran status 4 or 7; roll up a completely new character half-elf and level it to 4 and see if you're allowed to take whirling steel strike. You can even test how effective it is in a couple dungeons if you want before deleting your test character.

I must be missing something. If you're not a Monk, why take a feat that does nothing but allow you to remain centered with Long Swords?
