I'm happy to give Kickstarter the benefit of the doubt here, and assume these are the growing pains of a not-yet-fully-explored business/funding model.
I'm sure that over the next few years (and quite possibly in progress right now) we'll see some spectacular failures or unexpected outcomes from Kickstarter/Indigogo/Pozible - and those failures will guide the future of the crowdfunding space.
For now, I'd be surprised (probably to the point of suspiciousness) if Kickstarter had all the answers fully thought out to all the possible failure modes of crowdfunding.
