The USPTO page on enablement is filled with examples of hardware and software patents that were rejected, because of hand-waving generalization. There needs to be some accountability for approving these bogus patents.

The PTO makes money by granting them, and then makes more by hearing the challenges to them. Edit: I forgot to mention that the PTO runs a profit, last I checked. The government takes it, so they don't get to use it for improvement.
