They do not differentiate because it is not possible. They only break the KS rule if they are dishonest. So if they left information out due to simply incompetence, which you claim, they did not break a KS rule.
You right however, it is there for all to see.
How do you draw that conclusion from this rule: The funding goal is the amount of money that a creator needs to complete their project
It says nothing about only breaking it if you are dishonest. So please show me where it gives an exception for incompetence. Or says you have to break the rules intentionally.
Then why did you highlight "honest and clearly" if it is not relevant? Convenient at the time to imply dishonesty, but not so much now?
Because clearly when the topic came up Caspian was very open that they did need more cash beyond the kickstarter. My impression was always that the funding goal was for a prototype with which to get further funding.
Your claim is that they set out to deliberately mislead people. That claim is false.
There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever that SBS were deliberately dishonest in their KS proposal.
Jeromy Walsh knew that saying the KS funding total was only meant to build a "demo for investors" would hugely dampen the enthusiasm of potential backers, so that fact was conveniently omitted...
Sure, there may have been hardcore fans that were already aware of that fact, seeing as they were active on the CoE forums long before the KS arrived, but there would have been many others who would not have known that "hidden detail". New arrivals would have taken the KS info at face value, which is quite acceptable, seeing as that funding proposal should contain all pertinent facts regarding what is being funded.

Would it have been better if the summary said it was a for a prototype in those exact words? I agree. Still doesn't prove dishonesty. The problem here is once again that you cannot take the KS info at face value. You have to do due diligence.

No, all you have is speculation. Driven by your dislike of Caspian because he was rude to you. Which he shouldn't have been. But ultimately there are 3-0-0+ threads on this game, a significant portion started by yourself, for the sole purpose of internet revenge. It is both impressive and sad.

I can't find that in their rules section.
They have revamped the site multiple times. It used to be displayed in bullet point format. If you ooom through these forums there probably is a screenshot. But you can see from the Massively article that it existed and that Caspien did not dispute it.

Well, and on the Kickstarter web site, (see above) but whatever.
Try not to make it so easy.
It does not say what you think it says...
One would need to be seriously mentally deficient to think it means anything else but money needed to complete the subject of KS campaign, hence why the sentence starts with FUNDING GOAL - an amount you intent to collect via KS campaign.

Not the Kickstarter campaign. The project. Please go back to silently LOLing everyone. The more you post the worse it gets.

It states right there that the project is to complete something, therefore to complete your project you need a finished item of some sort.
Now if Caspian had said they needed the cash to create a demo for investors he would have been accurate, instead he said its what he needed to finish the project stated (the game). Therefore he made a big boo boo

You are arguing a point no one was disputing - it does not matter what Walsh said or didn't.
The claim was that there is a KS rule stating that SBS must declare "whole amount" - an amount needed to create entire game, and SBS broke that rule.
That clam is obviously false because no such rule exists.
