As regards "to run"... are you sure that it is one of them?
If yes, do you think that:
1. I run 20 miles every week -- is intransitive use
2. I cannot run this program -- is transitive use?
Correct on both. Or another example, "The snake oil salesman was run out
of
town."

Yes, Karl.
From an English viewpoint this is as you write. But from a Hebrew viewpointit is wrong.
The Hebrew view of the sentence is:
"The snake oil salesman was caused to run out of the town"
Namely, the Huph'al and not the Niph'al of "run".
I mean: the right word --if we should to translate the sentence into
Hebrew-- would not the Niph'al of RWC, but the Huph'al of RWC. Look at B.2
in www.oham.net/out/P-d/P-d083.html
and remark the examples taken from the Bible.
I suggest you to take advice whether the Niph'al of RWC really exists.
Warm greetings!
