A valid and optimistic prediction, IMO.  But, methinks
it will be difficult to qualify "habitual naysayers"
on any given issue.  It has been my observation that
the majority of posters harbor their own pet issues,
with positions so cosseted as to be closed to
alternative.

I fear that the pool of "naysayers" will change with
each discussed issue, and that the resolution of their
concerns will never be possible, under the auspices of
consensus.

I hope I am wrong.

Sincerely,
Jason Graff
