An example of this would be the legions of people who claimed that FP or Lisp or both were secret weapons that would make you super productive or make your company successful because smart programmers use them and/or they're secret weapons for productivity (and, BTW, I like FP).
In the wake of the failure of FP to live up to these lofty promises, people moved the goalposts and claimed that FP was a big advantage, but there are other reasons companies are successful, FP still outperforms, etc.
