If I remember right the estimation of successful revival via cryonics by LW people who are signed up for cryonics is <0.2. I don't see how that is supposed to produce peace of mind.

It could well be, that their estimation of a successful revival is significantly higher than they are letting on.

I don't know what you mean with "letting on". The census asked very directly for a probability value of successful revival.

I mean that their actual revival estimate may be a lot higher than they are willing to acknowledge, which would explain the peace of mind.
