Shouldn't there be some protection from editing original claims, and if changed, that its clear when and what changed in the wording? I find the whole thing rid

You can cancel and get a refund before the campaign fundraising period ends

  Good point. For major edits like this — especially where claims violated Kickstarter's TOS — it would seem appropriate to require the creator to send a message to all backers that communicates the change and the reason for it. Otherwise many backers might not find out about the changed language.

    Per dstaley's comment up-thread, apparently they did send out a message explaining it.

      Thanks, this comment came a couple hours later so I hadn't seen it. I wonder if Kickstarter required them to send it or if it was voluntary.

  You don't even need to get a refund. Kickstarter doesn't collect money until the end of the campaign, so you can change, withdraw, increase your pledge as much as you want with a couple clicks.

FWIW, Kickstarter won't let you change the text of a reward tier as long as someone's pledged for it. You can change the text of the main pitch all you like, though.
