Mike,
As an experienced player of games, there is nothing here that I didn't find adequately explained in the rules. The cards are also read literally. This is going to sound odd, but when we came to understand how well designed the game is, everything you wrote above was painfully obvious. The only reason we ever made mistakes was second-guessing ourselves. You can always shoot for more clarity, but I really don't feel you missed anything the first time around that shouldn't be obvious if you read the rules and cards carefully.
