Entrepreneur Issue Under 1.55.376894.1

I am not sure which part of this is wrong, but something is not right.

The first screen snapshot below shows 2 things:

  1. What training an Entrepreneur is supposed to get you
    1. Increased Income base on the citizen's Social
    2. Increased Manufacturing based on the citizen's Diligence (this is a part of the issue)
  2. I cannot train an Entrepreneur because I have not researched the Invisible Hand technology

The second screen snapshot shows that I have 3 Entrepreneurs on my home world.  I have them because the game assigns a role to each citizen as it is added to the world and the game seems to be willing to assign roles that I have not researched.  So far, I have not been able to figure-out the logic the game uses to assign roles to each new citizen.

The third screen snapshot shows the description that appears when I hover over the Entrepreneur icon attached to a citizen.  Note that it does not say anything about Manufacturing like the description in the first screen snapshot does.

The fourth screen snapshot shows the popup that appears when I hover over one of my Entrepreneurs.  Note that it says "Gross Income +4%" (1% per Social value), but does not say anything about increased Manufacturing.

The issues are:

  1. If the game is not going to grant increased Manufacturing for Entrepreneurs based on their Diligence, then the description shown in the first screen snapshot needs to be changed.
  2. If the game is going to assign roles to new citizens as they are added, then:
    1. Shouldn't the pool of available roles be limited to what the player has researched?
    2. Shouldn't the player be given the option to assign new citizens to roles?  Perhaps this could be a toggle switch that allows the player to assign roles when they want to and let the game assign roles automatically when they don't.
