Since when am I in the minority. The majority of the players seem to be in on the failure scam.

AFAICT, you're the only one who firmly believes that this is true; a few people are unsure (or don't have time to read the relevant rules and are waiting for others to figure it out for them), and a bunch of people, myself included, are doing random things just in case the CFI's go the wrong way, so that we'll profit from it if for some strange reason it goes through, but we don't really expect it to go through.

Your scam depends on the assumption that if you define an object (in this case, an effect) within the text of a proposal, then that object exists regardless of the passage or failue of that proposal. I see no reason to assume that this is the case; and in fact many reasons to assume that it is not.
