I agree, but that leads me as a backer to try to validate the ability of creators to finish. Hasn't this been pretty clear from day one? Kickstarter may not be perfect, but I feel like the one thing they've been pretty consistent on is that they don't have a lot of control over how the creators fulfill their obligations.

Yes, but it seems to me like the campaigns you can trust are from those creators which have started using Kickstarter as a pre-sell store. That's their choice as a platform, but I preferred the days of funding small businesses that chose to earn capital from their users instead of a bank. I think they've vastly changed the utility of Kickstarter to creators, resulting in companies built only around sales on Kickstarter, rather than as a means to start something outside.
