Like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, ROI results are either too warm or too cold until they feel "just right." The issue here is that managers may have in mind a particular hurdle rate and aren't communicating this information or don't exactly know what they're looking for until they see it.
When ROI results are drawn like a line in the sand, managers will manage their ROI numbers to hurdle rates.
