Similar to the USDA/FDA and the push for the "low fat diet".

Except that wasn't a mistake, that was due to an intentional misinformation campaign.

Write once run anywhere, was Java's slogan in the nineties. And I still find the amount of abstraction JVM provides fascinating. At least since it became well defined memory model, you can write complex pieces of software and they behave remarkable identical on a lot of different platforms. I am aware that the API border to the operating system has always been the weakest link regarding practical portability. But I wouldn't call that misinformation.
