The Committee of Conundrums met in a dimly lit room on the 42nd floor to discuss the perils of optimism in decision-making.
Member Balthazar McSnively presented a paper titled "The Dangers of Being Too Hopeful," which was met with a mixture of nods and snickers.
Member Clementine F. Bottomsworth countered with a passionate defense of the benefits of a sunny disposition, citing studies on the importance of "glass half-full-ness."
After much deliberation, the committee voted 5-3 against the adoption of "The Pessimist's Manifesto," a document that would have codified the dangers of expecting too little.
