That's also something I was told in response to my skepticism during NMS' pre-release hype phase, and it's a complete misunderstanding of what's going on here. I'm not trying to stop people from being happy, on the contrary, I'm trying to help them avoid disappointment by getting them to stop huffing hopium in industrial quantities. But they don't wanna stop.

It's not a "misunderstanding" when you're laughing about what you think is going to happen and getting excited about your "vindication". You're not helping anyone here. You're just trying to get them to join you in your cynicism.

Once again, Just let people be happy.

Please, lecture me more about what my motivations are. Of the two of us, you're clearly the expert on that topic. I'm dying to hear more.

Not at all! Remember, imagination knows no bounds. You can continue making stuff up with no basis in fact pretty much forever.
