I'm confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know how many of you received the following FAA notification.  According to the description they produced aeronautical charts with confusing symbols.  Since they know that they produced the confusing symbols wouldn't it make more sense to fix the charts rather than trying to get pilots to understand them which means that forever we will continue to have acceptable confusion!!
