With respect to Objective Hexes and Setup Areas, I think there is a timing aspect you are overlooking.
Presuming you have ended a CG Date, RePh 4.405 is when you determine the Setup Areas, and AFAIK, they won't change until the next RePh phase.
I don't believe it intended, or can be read as supporting, allowing purchases to retroactively modify Setup-Areas/Isolation/etc.
As for the broader comment re: proofreading/playtesting clarifications, I am inclined to agree, but I also think one is likely to arrive at the correct interpretation if one simply looks at the map and the directions of reinforcements, etc. Put another way, a good pinch of RAI vs RAW goes a long way in the CGs. Definitely could use some tightening up of the language but I don't think it is as bad as some people make it seem. YMMV
