OK, so if I say we should go 7-4 going into 2004, then I'm intentionally setting high expectations, so I can bring down the coach.

But if I say we should go 7-5 in 2007, I'm doing it so I can have the glory of cracking on optimists, and revel in my knowledge in the off-chance the optimists are wrong.

Gotcha.
