It should never be upsetting to learn that your favored policy turns out to have bad outcomes. If you supported the policy because you thought it had good outcomes, you can just change your mind. If you supported it on general principle, then you can still support it!

The problem is that mainstream culture is so hostile to principle that it's not *socially acceptable* to admit that you're basing your decision on a moral principle rather than empirical outcomes data.
