it is curious that some posters really prefer the comfort zone of relentless optimism and yet they wish to promote their views unopposed in a discussion space.
if you prefer a pat on the back, why not stay in the environment in which folks accept the dangled carrot approach to discussion?
but if you venture forth, you can hardly complain when someone points out that the thing you are waving in front of them is on a string.
is success just around the corner?
why think that rather than, say, three years away?
for me, the corner is where wave's game is played.
and the sensitivity to its exposure occurs where folks know they are promoting hope as much as knowledge.
if you don't know, the best answer is "i don't know".
