How you word something is entirely dependent upon what you consider important. I do not believe that you can be convinced on your main points, and therefore I am going to give an analogy that you may or may not understand based on my involvement with transit advocacy: The exact same project can be described in two different ways, depending on your own beliefs:
1. An important investment in vital transportation infrastructure.
2. A costly and wasteful subsidy to a failed form of transportation.
...and it doesn't matter that the proposal is! It could be a bond issue to build more highways, expand airport capacity, extend BART to San Jose, or construct a high-speed rail system; no matter what it is, you will see different people describe it in the two ways above, completely dependent upon their own opinions about the value of the project.
Now I encourage you to not be fannish and see if you can understand the analogy with your dispute over how Proposition 8's title and summary should be worded.
