With that paragraph deleted, it was difficult for me (just reading it now) to make the inference connecting your argument to wishful thinking. You might want to spell it out.

I don't think it's because I deleted that paragraph. I think it was just unclear. I rewrote the second half.

Much improved, and accordingly upvoted.
