Wow, this is dishonest and I'd be surprised if it wasn't against Kickstarter's TOS. What happens if they made their goal but no more? Part of the point is supposed to be that if the makers don't get enough money to fully fund the project, then none of the money goes out. By setting your KS goal lower than your actual goal, you're skirting around a part of Kickstarter designed to lower risk for backers AND makers. http://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/kickstarter%20basics#faq...
