For SJ, where's the Move and Defend and option?

I find this discussion disheartening. I have always held up SJG as a model of playtesting and blindtesting. It sounds like the exact opposite is now the case. Rules edits were not blindtested, and player feedback was ignored. Now that muddled rules are out in the field, the is no visible effort to clarify the intent of confusing rules.

I have become used to Board Game Geek, where game designers regularly appear on the forums to clarify rules questions. I really don't think that is too much of an imposition on the game publisher. (That said, I would accept a statement that feedback is being gathered and an official FAQ will appear at some point soon.)
