There doesn't seem to be any reason why officials DON'T learn the new rules.
Should? yes
Do? No

As for association meetings, very few go to them all, and very few really pay attention to the in depth rules discussions. How many of your meetings do you spend significant time talking about the uniform rules?

There are enough threads here describing association meetings where some very basic rulings are debated in ways that can only be explained by wide spread rule ignorance.

Add to that the general lack of interest in these fashion rules, coupled with the increasing complexity of those rules, and you're going to have a lot of officials
