To Yipe, sorry going back some:
Do I understand correctly that Damon ruled that if you wound an opponents character using Short Fuse, then the response of Educated Officer allows you to draw seven cards?

Yes, that is correct.

I am very new in this game. Basically I want to understand the logic behind rules so I don't have ask to about everything and understand how cards interact. But this seem to be the first game I have big problem to understand the logic and general terms (like what is effect, ability etc.). I will ask about Damon about this.
Asked and answered by Damon. Underground Asylum does cancel the effects of the terror struggle. Here is what he wrote:
Underground Asylum does work when a player loses a terror struggle. The question/answer in the FAQ is not written clearly enough to realize this, it seeks to provide a general distinction and then refers the player to the specific rules and definition section of the FAQ. It is important to note the questions at the end of the FAQ are not rules themselves, but attempts at explaining how the previous sections of the FAQ which are rules would be applied. If there is a conflict between the two sections, the rules section takes precedence. In regard to this specific answer it would read better as the following:
"The word effect refers to different things depending on the context. Game effects are when the game rules cause something to happen. Card effects are when the text on a card causes something to happen. Generically, when a card text, refers to an unspecified effect it is referring to a card effect. When it is specific it refers to any effect that meets that qualification. (see Card Effect vs. Game Effect, FAQ)"
You can see how Underground Asylum refers to a specific effect, that which makes a character insane, and not an unspecified effect such as Arcane Tampering (Ancient Relics F64) "Response: After a character exhausts to trigger or pay the cost of an effect…"
