I suspect it's a generational thing. 20-somethings are either full-flowered idealists or freshly-shattered idealists. Thus they prefer either 100% perfection or 100% apocalyptic devastation. Us wrinkly folks have gone beyond both the idealism and the cynicism, so we don't mind looking at plain old reality.
