Multiple people made optimistic noises about the sequence, equally without explicit substantiation (we all have too little data to craft explicit reasons from). My honest expectation is that the sequence will go badly in some slightly subtle fashion that will produce confusion, little new understanding, and some debate. Maybe not, but that's what I expect more.

This is a more reasonable and measured reply. Negative comments are great, so long as they have substance.

Positive ones don't have to have substance? ;)

Data point: I have often voted comments up just for being amusing. One of those was negative, but most were positive.
