I'm with you. I'm no longer going to try to understand the player acquisition rules. It seems to me that what happens is that they start off with a simple system, and then they encounter a situation that the system doesn't allow them to do what they want, so then they pass a rule tweaking the original system, and then a new situation happens again and they tweak it again, and so on. Eventually the exceptions to the rules become more important than the rules themselves and they'd be better off just not having any rules.
