Guac, one problem is that people can get worked up about an idea or principle, but when they're in a position to make something happen, they lose a lot of steam compared to before. It's happened to me a few times. It also happens in real life (candidates make lots of promises, but do a mediocre job at meeting them once they're in office). It can happen to even the best users.
