There was recently an article posted to HN [0] about a startup founder doing this very thing, blaming his customers for behaving like humans.

>I was fighting human nature and losing.

>Everyone swears they will eat right and exercise, but most don’t. Everyone agrees they need to spend less to be financially secure later, but most won’t. Our users were telling us they would use ContractBeast to achieve those long-term benefits, but most weren’t.

>When I looked at the contracts the users were creating, I found most of them were ones in which a particular feature provided a clear and immediate benefit. Usually involving contract review and approval.

>Human nature sucks.

He did it the opposit. He blamed his product for going against human nature.This is misquoting him.

I read the article. He didn't blame his product, he blamed users for not utilizing his product to its full potential, and compared them with people who don't eat right and exercise.
