I am sure the same stuff is being done with law - politicians first do an extreme version of what they want and measure the backlash, then see if they can act as "reasonable" and "caring" while backing off to what they actually wanted. It's a manipulation tactic also used in marketing a lot. First give an outrageous price, but then say there's a number of factors that take the price down temporarily, so you think you're getting a great deal. Then you realize it was a lie.
