In actual fact, perhaps most correctly, hardware stores that sell knives to individuals knowing that those individuals are very likely going to commit knife crimes and who sell models specially designed for committing knife crimes should perhaps be prosecuted in some way. Not for the knife crime itself, but rather for making available knives that no reasonable person would consider to be for simply cutting butter. No apply this to TPB...
Maybe this is less about wishful thinking and more about narrow-mindedness. We tend to expect others to act as we do because our own behavior is a very salient and ever-present prototype of human behavior in general. This is linked with what are termed social value orientations. These describe how you value your outcomes and the other person's outcomes. Individuals can categorized into three groups: cooperators, individualists and competitors.
Cooperators: They like to maximize joint gain or make sure that they and the other player get as much as possible collectively.
Individualists: They maximize their own gain or are concerned with only how much they get and not what the other player gets.
Competitors: They maximize relative gain or how much more they get than the other player.
Thus, depending on your SVO, you may see a matrix game such as the Prisoner's Dilemma in a different light and consequently you may expect others to value outcomes as you do.
There was a study that examined how we develop these valuations: Van Lange, Otten, De Bruin, & Joireman. (1997b). Development of prosocial, individualistic and competitive orientations: Theory and preliminary evidence. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 73(4), 733-746.
I humbly submit that if one sees a camel with a bulging load on its back, one would be extremely unwise and irresponsible to place even a single straw on said camel's back.
This makes the offense more offensive in my view.

I for one welcome smog warnings that are accompanied by the delicate scent of fries.
