Seems to me that most of these overzealous responses come from the perception that everything must be "fair" and thus must be held to a given standard.
Unfortunately, in our society's pursuit of "fair" we often forget to do what's "right". For one reason or another we do not allow any bend, and it's way too easy for stupid stuff to happen.
