I understand the "bet" here is figurative, but it's pretty sad to bet on the misery of others. We should have realistic expectations for how this project is likely to work out, but we shouldn't give into cynicism before the project has even gotten started.

You'll probably end up proven right, but in this instance, I hope you're wrong. You should hope you're wrong too.
