Indeed. This was something a lot of people commented on that should have got fixed in the new edition but didn't. Prominent example: the book still gives contradictory ideas about how Wounds work.
I found this stuff fell into place when I got one of the "GM screen" documents produced by fans, which summarised the damage conditions and showed me it had more logic to it than I thought.
My overall impression of True20 was that they'd thinned out a lot of D&D's detail, which made it better than D&D for me, but still adhered to the detail-oriented design approach.
