As the number of creature type erratas grow, so do the number of cards that work differently than what is printed. Some cards exist currently with none of their printed creature types. For example, when the dog update came out, "leashling" went from golem to dog while its not relevant card to most constructed formats I'm sure there are plenty of others. This card functions differently than what is printed on the card. For what seems like no reason other than art looks like dog = now dog not a golem. I have zero qualms with the calling hounds dogs, but I do feel that cards should also, as often as possible, do what they say. My question is, is this not also an internal vision as well to maintain the integrity of what's printed on many players' cards?This opinion does not apply to erratas relating to cultural sensitivity changes.

Yes, our goal goal is to make cards function the way people intuitively expect. There are different factors that sometimes get in the way of that goal, but that is our vision.
