Thaler's only real complaint about the Swedish design is that the government ran a large advertising campaign discouraging people from electing the default ('it's your Swedish duty to choose for yourself'); had it instead gently recommended the default, far better outcomes would have resulted, as shown by newer young workers—over 90% of whom now elect the default after the campaign stopped.
