To use one of your favourite sentences - can you give us any proof of this?
In 1996, they were playing I'd Die For You because they had been experimenting with it just for fun in the studio some time before - Jon said that during one of the European shows before playing it.
In 2000, the initial idea had been to keep the acoustic set and hence they were probably looking for a halfway-known song to fit in there in a different fashion. However, the acoustic section was axed after 4 shows on the tour, but Runaway survived.

This is all I could find immediately with a simple search... Wikipedia.
"Runaway" was never recorded with the current band, though at that time there were plans to put a "Runaway '94" on the album but it was never recorded.
One other point. I always assumed it was acoustic style because of Prayer 94 and Runaway 2000 but it was never really stated... It could have been a one to one updated copy too.
Discover Music also talks about it. I'm surprised this is new info for everyone.
