They are unburdened by reality, since they will never have to apply their ideas to actual people - instead they engage in pure theorycraft, based on the assumption (of course) that everything will work out because they want it to. They then strain and sand and whittle their "ideas' down into whatever the hell engages the absolute least restraint on anyone anywhere (but most especially white male libertarians, as evidenced in their hostility towards enfranchisement of women and minorities.)
