Yeah, that's really the core of the problem, isn't it. People trying to impose an implicit understanding (which is nothing more that 'this is what I want the world to be like') when there's an explicit statement of 'this is how it actually is'.
The attitude baffles me. So many times I've had someone come in all butthurt and say 'I know it was in the contract, but I didn't think they'd actually enforce it'.
