I think precisely because of how big the stakes are. We don't want to admit to ourselves that the very survival of the program may depend on what happens in the next two weeks, and we have no control whatsoever over the outcome.

So it feels best to be pessimistic and not get our hopes up. Because if they are dashed (and yes, they will likely be dashed), the hill to climb is almost impossible.
