No, people do not do that.

This is harmless when it comes to tech opinions but causes real damage in politics and activism.

People get really attached to ideals and ideas, and keep sticking to those after they fail to work again and again.

i don't think it is harmless or we are incentivising people to just say whatever they want without any care for truth. people's reputations should be attached to their predictions.
