In the past, IIRC, games were developed by the GDC later in the year, which meant that there was less time spent on the writing of the rules, and as such there were occational errors. We dealt with the grammar/spelling errors and moved on.
However, that was not the case here, correct? I believe this game was conceptualized and developed quite a while ago. So, in theory, they had a lot more time to develop the rules, critique them, re-write them, brain-storm ways teams could bypass the rules, re-re-write the rules, rinse, repeat, until they had an iron-clad document. The wonderful folks on the GDC are intelligent, experienced people, and they should know ways that teams think, and write rules that avoid ambiguity. They should never have had to make this big of a rule change had the rules been properly vetted, and it looks bad on their part.
