Startup companies and even groups within large companies will make predictions on sales, product acceptance, impact on society, etc.  Frequently, as these prophecies fail they make even more grandiose predictions rather than correct their plans to match the reality.  As they run out of money they seek more investors -- proselytizing with renewed vigor.
