funniest story from this is i attend one of korunks tourneys this gets ruled wrong which prolly costs me the tourney (no hard feelings) but then later at regionals im playing vs his wife with him next to me same question comes up oh the reaction was priceless.

Never gonna live it down, am I?  That incident is the primary cause of my frustration with the old system of rules. (this incident occurred before "The Elders" ruling group was instantiated), which had been somewhat alleviated by the elders, and the REG correction thread.

I am still very dissatisfied with the new REG because it does not address the fundamental problem with the original REG, which was the glacial pace of updates.  The corrections thread helps that but I like many other hosts do not have an internet connection at my tournament venue and thus the offline REG (from last year no less  ) is all I have to go by.  This is still a major cause of frustration for me.

We all clamored for a "new" REG, when we really wanted a new system for the REG.

Yeah, unfortunately, the REG does not get updated often enough to be 100% reliable. My understanding is that only two people can edit it, both of whom have lives, and thus, it doesn't get updated much. My suggestions of letting people who are active and knowledgeable, like Underwood and Prof A, have largely gone ignored.

They actually haven't been ignored.  This issue is being discussed on the other side.

We don't even need a regularly updated REG, we just need someone to go through and fix all the flaws in the REG  we have now.

I wouldn't go that far. The reason updating the REG took so long last time was because they were working out definitions for a lot of different abilities (or so I was told). If it was one step forward, it was a gigantic step. We just need to remove these Play-As' Disguised as Erratas and clear up a few things.
