I think it goes beyond it, there are people who deny the truth in the hopes that fixes will correct the problems.
There are people who are pessamistic and moan in the hope that the problems will be fixed and then there are people who are optimistic that the fixes will be made.

But ALL have love and passion for the subject, apart from the denialists who never truely have. Its something the optimists loose and the pessamists dont ever because they excepted the logic of loss.
