That's because cryonics salesmen are generally amateur rationalists who are actually trying to believe rationally and report their beliefs honestly.
I am more inclined to believe that they are a self-selected group - drawn from the section of the population with the most optimistic estimates of whether cryonics will work. Usually, "most optimistic" != "most realistic".
