I think it's the crazyiness of this era. We expect people to be either "100% good" or "100% bad".

Of course we, as a society and as individuals, are (unsurprisingly) deeply surprised when we find out somebody we like isn't "100% good" and can't accept that somebody we don't like isn't "100% bad".

[edit: this is not 100% related to Hans Reiser, of course, more on a general tangent].
