LoL maybe?! XD It's just a balance point; if I go in with low-no expectations (just basically see what happens) then you're either pleasantly surprised or "well okay then" but not disappointed/feeling like it was a waste of time/money (though if it was actually disappointing then that happens sometimes but even then sometimes we can pull something out of it).

Now if you used that analogy to explain why things aren't consequence-free watch them get butthurt for assuming they're idiots?
