I think you're right. Daniel Sperling's and Deborah Gordon's Two Billion Cars gives examples showing that we get the best results when we (i.e., the government) put up appropriate targets and let people figure out how to achieve them; when we/government spell out the solutions in advance (e.g., ethanol) we often end up backing the wrong horse.

It's cute.
