Ribeiro et al. (“Introducing the Dilemma of Societal Alignment for Inclusive and Responsible Research and Innovation.” Journal of Responsible Innovation. doi:10.1080/23299460.2018.1495033) argue for the concept of ‘societal alignment’ as a new frame for the challenges associated with integrating RRI practices into science and technology innovation systems. The authors mention some of the barriers to integration in public and private sectors. Here, we pay greater attention to the less optimistic side of RRI by exploring the barriers in more detail and organizing them according to multiple levels and stages of innovation. We then argue that our scholarly RRI community should lower its expectations for RRI and societal alignment, while increasing its understanding of innovators’ biases and the organizational and political limitations that are very likely to persist. In conclusion, we recommend a larger focus on documenting, identifying, and developing collaborative, realistic and practical approaches for RRI to address the barriers while not compromising on fundamental principles of inclusion, anticipation, reflexivity and responsiveness
