I don't think you need to hope for that, I can confirm you are both in actual fact pessimistic - and, of course, not necessarily unreasonably so. If we win, you will still have been pessimistic; the result will not change your historical pessimism, but it may give you some optimism moving forward to balance out the pessimism. Or you might continue to expect the worst, regardless. We are each of us individuals, with our own thoughts and feelings, and that can not be judged correct or incorrect, true or false, zero or one.
Pessimism does seem to be the gold standard across this forum, and it can be a gloomy place to populate sometimes. Thank god we have
@Santa to even things out.
