There's plenty of cases where null policies have failed. I could list them but that list obviously has to trigger Godwin's law...

If Hitler had not done anything, i.e. implemented the so-called null policy, nothing bad would have happened. Feel free to substitute with any other dictator if you want to avoid Godwin's law.

Chamberlain implemented a null policy and Hitler was the result.
