I hope you are right on this one too.
I really do get a kick out of your optimism toward this; I just feel you are in for a big let down. There's no debate on the history of this, and that is on my side(yes, we should learn lessons from history). Either engineered failure or miserable failure, this seems to be just another cycle in history for this.
However, for all of our sakes, I hope I'm wrong.
