Pessimism is an attitude about facts whereas I am basing what I say on the historical facts themselves which in any human endeavor are often a great guide to understanding the future especially when the same group of individual decision makers remain in power at NWBO.

You can choose to use an optimistic or pessimistic lens and all the distortions that brings but in my case I am being objective and as the facts change and I see a clear break with their past behavior of deliberately vague and/or misleading statements and their perpetual kicking of the can down the road then I can do a new analysis. Certainly using history to predict what has been happening the last few years with NWBO has been more reliable than any charts.

If therefore my presentation of the facts seems pessimistic that is because of the facts and I am not going to put my thumb on the scale to make things look better than they are not if things truly improve will I put my thumb to make them look worse.

Obviously though, given the well established pattern of negative conduct and an unwillingness to admit it is even a problem, NWBO management would either have to acknowledge past failings, commit to change and then take a concrete step in that direction or if they are scared of liability then just take concrete steps in a new direction without any such admission for it to be appropriate to confidently say a new fact pattern has begun. I would like to see that say but there is scant hope.
