Indeed. That would imply that our shared goal of raising the sanity waterline would cause most of the population to drown :)
Mind you, I like that the OP is asking what the consequences would be. However my guess is: more people making slightly better decisions some of the time, and with no obvious mechanism for "letting other things slip", I don't see a downside.
Upvoted because I rather like that phrasing :)
